Eugene since I posted this post, I will comment on this lecture, which I, unfortunately, visited. Explain why "unfortunately." When I went there (ie the way through the dense jungle jams), I was filled with the most gracious promise, that's it today, I will explain all the advantages of modern art that I finally understand how it perfectly and I will love and adore him to end of his days and making fun of how stupid I was before and could not appreciate the genius of "the great modern artists" ...

convince me that in addition to Sir H. Rosenthal, who is undoubtedly an extremely well-read, intelligent, educated and interesting man, tried two representatives of the Gagosian Gallery - Victoria Gelfand, who was there for the background in my opinion, and another man, like at the London dandy. Just last and Sir Rosenthal attempted to answer listeners' questions and explain the uniqueness contemprorary art ... That's me personally, they were unable to convince the general ... Sir Rosenthal vividly told stories from his life and what used to be art, as few people were interested in them if and how many are interested now that we must love art, it should be like and no matter what it costs money and so on and so forth ... BUT! no reasoned commentary in favor of the artistic value of works of contemporary artists, including hanging on the walls of work, was not at all. Sorry, but it was just water, talk about anything in this forum much more interesting to discuss the problems and trends sovremennoogo of art. On a question from the audience: "Well, hang Fontana, what is it dear?" - Sir Rosenthal launched into a discourse on the level: "This is such a wonderful, wonderful, unique work, she's so unique, so interesting and remarkable, it so much is not normal, it can be interpreted so many ways to consider and so and so ... and so on. The listener explained: "Well, you, personally, that it like?". Rosenthal: "Everyone sees it our way, each his world, someone will see one, I see another ...", - and launched into a lengthy discourse on how differently people perceived art.
To my great regret, the whole conversation took place in that line ... No specifics, no parsing of artistic pictures ... Most of the words were about how people love contemporary art, as it is to everyone's taste, as in the global cohort of Russian collectors are moving oligarchs, as Gagosian Gallery like to bring here and sell it "zamechtatelnoe, the unique" art that is available (which is very often stressed) only elected.
As a result, I have not approached the understanding of contemporary art, but even more alienated from it, made sure that all these big words for a completely empty essence, these multi-million dollar prices - the result of constant brainwashing and PR, and even such great man, Sir Rosenthal, can not turn the dirt into the diamond dust ...
