Meg HineI'm actually somewhat serious about this... think about it.. the whole pop art movement started as a reaction to the abstract expressionism and art becoming a commodity, hence paintings of other commodities and the use of industrial printing techniques (at that time silk screening) and it was kind of this big thumbing of the nose to the art world...but people bought into anyway. ...so where do you go from there? well it seems the subversive sense of humor is still there but has gotten even more devious and twisted. take for example, a large portion of the street art movement. in particular the ones that reapropriate corporate logos to reveal political and social messages. and then you have the guys painting things like pandas...cause i guess he really likes pandas. i mean, i do too. but see thats the point. who doesnt like pandas? and people will buy anything if they can identify with the subject matter. fashion is an even more overwhelming example of that. how many people have a goofy graphic t-shirt that bought cause it had a *insert your favorite obsession here*?12 minutes ago ·- Meg Hine i think i'm gonna do some research into who is buying art these days and what type of art they are buying. cause i feel like the art market is a different place than it was even 10 years ago. I feel like there is a younger generation of buyers with different tastes...so let's see if i can find information to back up these theories....5 minutes ago ·
