Arguably, this is why art is so valuable. You have to know what you're looking for ... You have to know someone Art can still be valuable without such gatekeeping and often fraud-inducing secrecy. Art is intrinsically valuable in the eye of the beholder (based on whatever reasons attracts them to it). One shouldn't have to know what one is looking for beforehand, as long as one recognizes it on sight and decides to acquire it. The serendipitous journey to discovering your taste or buying on impulse shouldn't be marred by anxiety over accessing the right gatekeeper. And contrary to popular opinion, art need not be expensive to be good or valuable.
