You'd have to explain how you price artistic value before anyone can argue with that. But these paintings are also cultural artifacts of a popular show. That they're paintings has misled you.
"While serving as a tribute to the artistic legacy of an artist whose name and work is as well known, this exhibition looks to explore the deeper questions around nostalgia, high and low art, art history, the cult of celebrity, pop culture, the art market and ultimately what is worthy of being exhibited and preserved in our museums. Bob and I both agree there are no wrong answers and I am fascinated to explore these questions."
This exhibit directly invites you to discuss the worthiness of the paintings, so I say it DOES make sense to make an exhibit of Bob Ross' paintings. How could anyone hope to judge them fairly without seeing them first?

- acomjean 6y ago>You'd have to explain how you price artistic value before anyone can argue with that. Nobody knows. Its what people are willing to pay. Banksy sold his art at a pop up in NYC. Hardly anyone bought: (and one negotiated half price) https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/video-banksy-set-up-pop-up-booth-in-central-park-and-only-had-three-customers https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/video-banksy-set-up...
