What if the prestige from going places and posting selfies from there, now outweighs the actual value of any of those paintings for many people?
I read an interesting article a few days ago about how, due to the smartphone and social media, ordinary people today are basically living like they are performers on TV. When everything they do is focused on performance, there’s less time or interest in contemplatively examining art. The quality of those lesser-known works might matter to you, me, or some others here on HN. But does it matter to enough people now to put any dent in overtourism of the über-famous works?
