This was due in part because the originator was marketed as an "artist", not a photographer. For example Cindy Sherman works in photography exclusively (AFAIK) but is perceived and sold as a fine artist.

Actually over here we do not even distinguish once the photographer is considered doing art-photography.
Then "photographer" is a sub-class as "painter", sculpturer etc.

The YBAs of the 1990s (Young British Artists) broadened an existing trend for multi-media work, to the point where a single discipline approach is uncommon in contemporary art. Installations, ceramics, video, painting are made serially. Of course it helps if you have a studio full of expertise and the artist comes up with the concept. A noble tradition going back to the Renaissance if not earlier.
 
Yes, there is a trend within arts towards multidisciplinary work. But still there are even young artists who restrain themselves to one discipline.

Some photographers stick to "one discipliine" because they've never heard of Bauhaus.

or maybe because they aren't interested in other disciplines ? there aren't many art schools left that teach with the bauhaus method.
RISD and CID might be the last ones.

I hope people find Bauhaus for themselves, but every school that even touches on architecture by necessity explores it.

Yes, I'm sure there are people "aren't interested in other disciplines" .. tragic.

San Francisco State University, San Francisco Art Institute, and California College of Arts and Crafts each have art programs with deep connections to Bauhaus, having employed Bauhaus students when they fled Germany.
