If you don’t like the taste of the people who want to pay for art I suggest doing what is traditional and either (a) paying for it yourself, or (b) taking over or setting up the government funding for artists so that people who share your taste are in control.
- harimau777 4y agoMy concern is that there would be no one to pay for it because they have been driven out of the market.
- JackFr 4y agoThat doesn’t make sense. Buyers don’t get driven out of the market.
- harimau777 4y agoSorry, when I said "no one to pay for it" I meant "no one who could be paid to do it". In retrospect, my wording was ambiguous.

And the less people are buying, the more the remaining artists have to charge to keep being able to afford to do art, which just spirals more people out of the buyers market.
