Donnell Butler, with foreword by Paul DiMaggio
ABSTRACT
This annotated directory documents more than 80 different studies of artist
populations. The directory provides information about how the researcher in
each study has defined the artist and identified the population. Studies are
arranged by type of artist population and, within each category, by study date.
Each entry indicates, in so far as possible from available materials, the study
investigator, the artist population, the way in which artists were identified,
sampling procedures, number of respondents and response rates, and publications
based on the study. This directory should provide researchers and other interested
parties with a range of definitions, identification methods, and sampling procedures
currently used in studies of artists. The introduction to the directory provides
a critical overview of the numerous methods for identifying and defining "artists."
