Apperently we value art way more than artists . Strange . http://www.unitedstatesartists.org/Public2/About/AnAmericanParadox/index.cfm

You are completely right.
How can art progress if the public does not know what is being made at this moment? If good contemporary art which does not meet one of your 7 criteria is not shown to the public?
Artists need support, need to be seen, need to have their work bought.
It is easy to say “I love art”. Hard is to support art in an effective way.

As for the publicity and such , it has been my observation that in order for us to see art in the news 1 or more of the following criteria must be met .
1. A very high price is paid for it
2.It is stolen .
3.It is bootleged or illegally copied
4.Censored or banned
5.It has been defaced or destroyed
6.It’s very very big or small
7.It’s done by unlikely artists , ie elephants 5 year olds, Donna Summer.
And lastly made of really disgusting materials.

If the art in question meets any of those criteria, BAM , you will be reading about it in the news . LOL Peace, Mark

nos da; e a possibilidade de perpetuar-los.
