"Forced" would be a tough sell.

  It was a tough sell, but it literally created the modern art market - which is largely used as a store of value for very rich people, and not for the cultivation of artistic expression.

    It makes me feel better, in a perverse way, to know that the hyper-rich are buying into the world's most obvious bubble. Say what you will about tulip bulbs, but at least they grow into things that are pleasant to have around. ("If I were a rich man", I'd be looking for genuinely good art that's priced low due to most of the money being diverted away.)
