Sunday Globe Special: Appalling Art

"Saundra Baker was 25 when she met her husband to be, William Lane. He was 50....

Even more appalling:

"Pondering an art world awash in wealth" by Sebastian Smee  |  Globe Staff, May 08, 2012

NEW YORK - Is money destroying the art world?

Right now, no one could be blamed for wondering. Last week, a version of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream’’ sold at auction in New York for a record $119.9 million.

Meanwhile, art dealers who paid as much as $65,000 for a stand at the first New York incarnation of the prestigious Frieze Art Fair - a four-day extravaganza that ran through Monday - are now pulling down their displays and shipping scads of expensive artworks around the world, like so many luxury commodities.

Frieze New York, like other art fairs, provides a chance for collectors, many of whom jetted in from Basel, Dubai, Moscow, or London, to see work by hundreds of artists affiliated with around 180 commercial galleries all at once, and for dealers from around the world to gather buyers under one roof.   

What was the carbon footprint on tha.... oh, never mind.

 With unemployment still above 8 percent, the amount of money swilling around the bizarre system of exchange we call the art market is incongruous, to say the least....

enormous piles of surplus cash.... 

I'm not against the arts. I'm all in favor of people expressing their creativity. Heck, that is why I am here performing my particular brand of artistry.  

What I am against is the massive amounts of loot pored into elite interests and tastes when the the vast majority of the populace suffers and doesn't give a damn due to the dumb-down effect.

Yeah, wouldn't want to dump tons of loot into caring for and educating -- I mean really educating, not the indoctrinating and inculcating tripe being shoveled at the kids now -- the people. That's just about the last thing you would want to do with loot.
