From what I've seen, it's more like there are too many people with great marketing and poor talent that make lots of money, and too many people with poor marketing and great talent that don't. You don't really see a lot of great talent at art galleries and shows because you need good marketing to get into them. But when you start to know artists personally, and you follow their process and techniques, you can witness the development of their talent, even for modern art, which I assume means anything developed post-war. We probably agree that most stuff is crap, but maybe just dig a little deeper and look a little longer?
