Sacred river of art and money (Donald Caspian Sea, art critic)

[NATA NOVA]

It is quite fascinating article, which formulated many answers to questions about the values ​​of art:
Quote:
  "The importance of art to date is that it makes money. It is not clear whether the money creating art, but just to say that they" patronize "the arts. The value of art is guaranteed money, that does not mean that no money will lose its value art, but the value of money dominates the artistic value, although originally intended to be a recognition of the latter. And art criticism and were defeated by money, although money and bring in an element of art criticism, confirming it as art. Moreover , money has become more existentially significant than the art.

I am even ready to defend the view that money is only seeking to fill the void of the existential meaning, which formed the art, having lost its spiritual destiny. In other words, investors, speculators, buying works of art as a tangible investment, and not for their spiritual value, thus denying her, showing his spiritual poverty and existential torpor. They may be compared with locusts, nicknamed as investors in hedge funds, making hostile offers, Franz Manterfering, former chairman of the German Social Democratic Party. "Locusts, ... which hits the field, leaving it bare ground and fly to another field. "[...]

I believe that money have invaded the sacred river and polluted the art of it, despite attempts to buy off their sins payment of money to artists. But apparently, the relationship between money and art still ended incest, suggesting that the properties of their future offspring, which has already manifested itself in the form of anti-artists. "
