People have different attitudes when it comes to taking risks. Some spend far more money on insurance than others. They are relatively risk aversive, while others prefer to take risks. So considering the art world’s extremely high prizes it is only natural that youngsters with some artistic talent and with an above-average inclination to take risks will be more likely to enter the arts than other similarly talented candidates who are more risk-aversive.
