Thanks for that analysis. So...really? The prince work was editorial art commission and the purpose of that is to sell magazines? Is that idea? I think that so

Thanks for that analysis. So...really? The prince work was editorial art commission and the purpose of that is to sell magazines? Is that idea? I think that sounds a little weird. Walk into the downtown corporate building of big firms in any city in the world, and I think you often see large scale art in the high ceilinged foyer: these pieces are often specially commissioned by the building owners or firm. Would the purpose of those, by that judgement, be to "sell the firm" (or equivalently raise its profile to by a chain of events, eventually increase revenue?). To me that just sounds weird, because often they are great art in themselves, and indeed many go on to be sold to other collections, or loaned to museums, and throughout their life they are rotated through the firms buildings or collections--just like regular art. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your meaning or the connection here.
