These works all seem to be private in private hands. The majority will never have the opportunity to really "look" at these works. That is one of the shames of art being an expensive commodity.

Hi George, terrific point. There has been a lot of work going on to make private collections visible again. So many masterpieces are hidden in those private collections. Some of these are even impossible to have a decent resolution photograph. Challenging for sure!

some of these could be considered "modern", how about making a list of living contemporary artists
@contemporaryartissue2 жыл бұрын
Hi Alberto, thank you for tuning in. I agree 100%, half of them are in fact rather modern artists than contemporary artists. To avoid any confusion, we opted to go for all post-war artworks. Living artists is also a bit tricky in my opinion. Think of Basquiat who passed away so soon, but clearly is a relevant and important contemporary artist.

Why did you use the fake (not by Francis Bacon) mock "Three studies of Lucian Freud"? It's used twice in the section about this painting and looks like some kind of Photographic studio mock-up!

whatever one's opinion on definition or commodification - most of these works are representative of watershed breakthrough moments in art and the evolution of humanity (tho I'm not sure de kooning fits in that league). so, the desire to acquire something so unique is understandable if one has the means. The very wealthy are not without discernment and passion about art. many works they purchase don''t appreciate dramatically if at all, or they devalue significantly. there are many wealthy people who do support emerging artists. We would all like to be one of the lucky ones, but we have to be good enough.
@oltedders2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for that. I weary of the naysayers accusations of the entire business of modern art being a fraud committed by the super wealthy lusting after the dubious talent of opportunistic hucksters looking to hop on the band wagon of big bucks and hollow fame.
