Billionaires and millionaires (today's nobility) buy out historical art to exemplify their status, which is sad because that doesn't necessarily mean they are proactive in the arts or educated enough to appreciate the art. While patterns remain the same, they are muddled and bleeding like watercolor by the different kinds of media (computer design) we have today. Architecture, an example of an art form that marries technology with the rich, has become disposable and graceless. But then, one art that has become powerful and appealing to the average and marginalized is advertising. (Someone get Billy Mays to convince that person to leave their horrible SO, that’ll teach’em). Anyway, I think it’s hard to judge art in a snow globe city. There might be great schools that empower talented artists, but no one sticks around (even critics) long enough to give us a chance to appreciate anything. What a great entry!!! Word.
