Artists do not directly create work to satisfy collectors.
They make work that over time creates a persona for them that is differentiated and carries meaning within the context of the art world.
Once that persona is created, work can be sold. In general, the work needs to maintain consistency with that persona. If the artist wants to change their work, they must first adjust their persona to justify the change.
