      Do you think artists are going to produce art to be freely hung in a museum?

      The reason art is valuable and worthy of being hung in a museum is because there is a market for it.

      Lay people travel to the Louvre to see the Gioconda because they perceive it as valuable, important, and irreplaceable.

      No market means no measure of value for art

        I vehemently do no agree that art is only valuable because of it’s monetary worth. I pity you if that’s the only value you see.

          LOL

          I did not say monetary value was art’s only worth. However art that hangs in a museum got there because of its value. This is true across history and across cultures

          You pity me?

          Would love to hear about your art background and knowledge.

          I grew up around art. I am surrounded by art and artists everyday of my life. Literally

          Art is work. Artists do not work for free. Just like you don’t work for free. Some work is more valuable than other work. Some art is more valuable than other art

          Some art has very little artistic value, meaning it adds little to the conversation and the world of art

      But how would he be the only one who gets to enjoy them if they are on display? What’s the point of being rich if you can’t deny poor people pleasure?

        I believe the conspiracy that those people work for oil companies with the goal to make all activists look bad

            I think the actual nutters are the ones vandalizing priceless landmarks and actually turning the general population against climate activism.
