I understand exactly what matters to the "art world". I just don't share
their high opinion for Lik et al. It always brings me back to that Dire
Straits song "In the Gallery".
You seem to be under the misapprehension that the art world has a high
opinion of Peter Lik. It doesn't, to put it mildly. You are in
*agreement* with the "art world". So am I, come to think of it.
I actually think the Lik image in question is a rather nice one. You can
find many images similar to it on Flickr. What I don't agree with is
that any print of that image is worth so many umpteen millions of dollars.
If the "art world" does share my disdain for Mr. Lik, I still wouldn't
say we are in agreement.
