REPUTATION INFLATION

You buy art?You buy names!
Auteur theory for visions-especially posthumous ones!
Diego Rivera a muralist -huge as Mussolini
Ardent populist sponsored by Rockefeller
Now Art Names have Corporate Sponsors
All Traveling Exhibitions sponsored-
like patronage of ballet,opera
It is seen as advertising.It is seen as investment.
It will not bite the hand that pets .It will not bark.
Safe Art.For office walls or safes.Price Tag art.
People look for emerging names.Promote pets.
House train the new Basquiats.Move taggers indoors.
There is no art you can not buy.Revolution?
ON SALE @THE GIFT SHOP.(a la Banksy)
(Buy postcards if you cannot afford prints)
Originals are for millionaires.To make in to billionaires.
The future is in futures.Ride the gold train.
Bull market for bullion art.If you cannot follow a trend
Buy one.
