An artist usually makes a work of art to eventually be seen, to communicate, the enlighten, to transform. And to be seen by many. But unless it happens to be a public work (installation, mural, video, etc.), it gets locked up for most of its life.
It's locked up in a studio, a collector's vault, the storage space of a museum, one person's home. Sometimes it's let out for a few weeks for good behavior, but then it's locked up again. Sometimes viewers can see its mug shot in the papers or the Internet, but it's still locked up. It's usually taken good care of, but it's still locked up.
Sometimes it's actually locked up because it misbehaved, broke the rules, rocked the boat. It will get paroled eventually, praised and then get locked up again.
