Isabel;
You're right to call me on this.
What I had in mind is that awards (I mean by this "blue ribbons") tend
to make some artists think that they can get away with whatever they
make as long as they sign it. (Duchamp).
I shouldn't have included grants. However, with rising prices, only the
strongest, or maddest, artists will give the collectors what they don't
want.
I would agree with you that "good artists don't have to eat," if you add
"so much, especially Americans."
Smiles to you,
Joel

Good job artists don't need to eat, or we'd _really_ be in trouble.
