<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 49165, member: 118&quot;]I see some of your points but seems like you have nothing but masterpieces on your walls and nothing else matters. </p><p>I do believe that IDing the artist matters even if he is not listed. Not always but it matters. </p><p>I don&#039;t want to start discussing what is masterpiece and what is not. It&#039;s like going to a movie. One will say the movie was great, the other that he&#039;s never seen worse film. But if the movie wins Oscar the second guy will probably change his opinion. </p><p>Why most of the times the artist had to die so people to discover how great he was? And why is so much art that has been sitting somewhere before being recognized? Or unidentified art that one day someone found it was by a great painter? Because this art was never in museums and auction houses before. </p><p>Do you see what I am trying to say? Art is subjective. Nowadays, with good marketing and publicity, a not so good artist may become famous and a good one to work as a dishwasher and never sell single piece. </p><p>Once you get famous even a simple drawing on toilet paper will sell good. Do you agree with that? Will I ever see that toilet paper hanging in a museum?</p><p><br /></p><p>You are right that awful and very good art are far apart but there is a lot in between. </p><p><br /></p><p>And by the way, how did you come with the &#039;factory&#039; painting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
