I have to agree. I sometimes wonder if his art is liked by many because that makes them part of the art lovers elite to feel part of the smart group.
Obviously his art appreciation has legs, and people are still paying huge bucks for it. I just wonder if in 100 years if he will be as appreciated and old masters like Monet or Vincent Van Gogh. I will never know.
