minus-squareynazuma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 hours agoDo you think artists are going to produce art to be freely hung in a museum? The reason art is valuable and worthy of being hung in a museum is because there is a market for it. Lay people travel to the Louvre to see the Gioconda because they perceive it as valuable, important, and irreplaceable. No market means no measure of value for art
