But that requires a value judgement doesn't it? If I don't think art is valuable, then I could consider art dealer as a useless job.

- PaulAJ 8y agoGiven that most art dealers "add value" by putting something in an expensive window and talking it up to people with money to burn, yes.
- wool_gather 8y agoSame as any middle-/sales-person. Helping a producer, who may not have the skills or wherewithal, to get their product in front of a willing buyer.
- davidgould 8y agoAlmost everything requires a value judgment. However, in your example, if you don't think art is valuable, it seems unlikely that you would be an art dealer as you would have neither the training nor the inclination to learn enough about art and art markets to get such a job. So you would likely be doing something else, hopefully something you do value.
