The discussion started from art inside a house (not like a public statue). Lots of art in houses is meant to be pretty (think of painting on a wall with a city you love, a portrait of some family, an abstract set of colors on a canvas, a statue of some Greek hero, etc.). The sale process is before you look at it in your home (as opposed to social media, where the sale is after you look at it). Some contemporary artists can try to shock and can engage in "political" statements, but I never saw personally any such thing in a home. And, anyhow when you talk with such artists the points their trying to make are so convoluted you need to know all (art) history to get what they are trying to say... (which I didn't so they had to explain it)
