The last trigger
for this exhibition was HOLLAND COTTER’s article in the New York Times on
Jan. 17, 2014. I took the liberty of printing the first few lines here:
Money — the grotesque amounts spent,
the inequitable distribution — has dominated talk about art in the 21st
century so far. It’s a basic fact of art history.
Emperors, popes and robber barons set the model for the billionaire buyers
of today.
Of course, it is today that matters to the thousands
of artists who live and work in this punitively
expensive city, where the art industry is often confused with the art world.
