"There is no getting around the business of art, according to Arsham, so you might as well master it. 'The game is there,' he writes. 'Either you play it or it plays you.' Wise up, reader." —New York Times Inspiration is for amateurs. I’m a professional artist: I wake up every day and go to work.
A guide for how to make it as an artist from one who knows. Arsham pulls back the curtain on the setbacks, late-night grinds, and breakthroughs that fueled his rise from Miami art student to one of the most sought-after visual artists of his generation. At once a candid memoir and a master class in managing a creative career.
“I make most of the things I make for the simple reason that I wish they existed. It’s the same with this book. As I look back at all of my experiences, the ups-and-downs of my career, my triumphs and my failures, the dreams that came true and those that haven’t (yet), what I’ve seen and felt and learned, who I’ve met and worked with and how they’ve influenced me, I believe with absolute certainty that this type of resource, this type of book, from a working artist is something I could’ve used and that would have helped me.” – Daniel Arsham
Equal parts inspiring story and tactical how-to, this book delivers:
Whether you’re an emerging artist, a creative entrepreneur, or simply someone hungry for inspiration, Future Relic is your companion for mastering the art-world “game”—and making your own dreams come true.

Equal parts inspiring story and tactical how-to, this book delivers:
- An artist’s origin story—from building a cardboard mock-gallery in his studio to land his first Paris solo show, to creating erosion-inspired installations at the New York City art hub MoMA PS1.
- Business skills nobody teaches in art school. Learn how to: get a gallery, scale a studio team, manage finances and legal structures, and negotiate brand partnerships and licensing deals.
- Behind-the-scenes insight on projects with Dior Men’s, Tiffany & Co., Adidas, Uniqlo × Pokémon, Porsche, and even serving as Creative Director for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
A blueprint for turning setbacks into springboards. Discover Arsham’s frameworks for reframing rejection, navigating “impossible” assignments, and using failure as your greatest ally.
Whether you’re an emerging artist, a creative entrepreneur, or simply someone hungry for inspiration, Future Relic is your companion for mastering the art-world “game”—and making your own dreams come true.
