O.K., the artworld is in crisis -- but should we really blame either money changers or art historians ?
Money changers build wealth by dealing with commodities like they have done in every civilization. That's their job -- and it's a necessary one. And aren't art historians just people who love art, like to read and write history, and want to have nice little jobs in universities or museums ? They didn't really sign up to be gate-keepers -- and that's why, in all modesty, "their unquestioned assumption is that whatever falls within the artworld context is art." They may be surrounded by art objects, but they live in a world of ideas, like Dr. Desmond who is "an art historian and an aesthetician only as supports thinking about art and its vague meanings." I don't think there's anyone else to blame except aesthetes -- i.e. people who live for differences in quality. We have failed to make a difference in art and educational institutions. For one reason or another. ____________________________________________________________ Click for online loan, fast & no lender fee, approval today http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/fc/Ioyw6ijmOSaac74IdooI8C3fuyWUe2 R77kNzdJrkxAdlInJOTfyuLC/
