[QUOTE=john70t;5144665]Everything an artist acomplishes seems to surrounded by 100 people which seem to know the work and/or the artist best.
Thus, the "value" of a piece of "art" becomes subjective to the interpretations of all these experts(sometimes a union of sorts) which surround, interpret, and give it exposure.
This can be for the good or the bad.
-A new concept or an incredibly sophisticated methodology can be highlighted, or...
-Everyone is duped, especially the suckers which just bought it.
A few years ago there was a random painting by an elephant which the trainers decided (as a farce) to enter into an art contest.
It won 1st place.
So, is the elephant on a higher plane of conciousness than the other contestants/critics...? You decide.[/QUOTE]
In many cases, yes, and the elephant is certainly more fun to be around than a lot of people I know of!
