Reply to comment by bi7worker in Piet Mondrian artwork displayed upside down for 75 years by Superbuddhapunk

I guess you missed my meaning. People didn't consider it "art" until somebody famous in the art world bought it and, all of a sudden, it was "art".

Art is also a market. In all markets, there are scams, overvalued brands, whales who squander their money on the next big thing. But what remains in the history of art is much more than that. Painters of kings have been forgotten, while street artists have remained in posterity. Art is not chosen by men but by humanity.

Damn, that line is fuckin good. I'll definitely steal that for the next time a thread about art pops up and I have to go to battle again
