This discussion made me think about the place of art in our current cultural climate , how, in the last fifteen years or so, there seems there is no more space for art as art . Art has become something of a curiosity item or , at best, a conversation piece whose only value is monetary. Just pay attention about the way most people who walk into gallery pay attention to the work being exhibited- they seem to to be more interested in the produce they browse through at the supermarket. It was something that did not happen overnight, it was breeding for a long time but now it is all around us and there is not much to be done about it. The few people who know about artists like Frank do so through the media coverage of their work and must often such coverage emphasizes how important their work is because of the money their work commands in the market place. This 2015 piece on Frank in the NY Times is very typical of that -
