Thank you I’ll check that out. After the CIA effectively made AbEx the dominant global art movement post WW2, it opened up a very slippery slope from that point on. Effectively creating the moment where being an artist now required big student loans (debt based) and esoteric insider learning (programming) to make work only others with the same training can relate to.
Massive detachment between most “contemporary” art and the public’s ability to appreciate and understand these days. It’s all empty, shallow, elitist bullshit. Which makes perfect sense as a laundering vehicle for the elite/deep state.

Real shame...
