  Sad isn't it. Art dealers support stuff they can sell, critics write about
  things they can write about. None of this has anything to do with the work,
  but with the concept behind the work. Arts education (and I used to be in
  it) ,for a whole load of reasons that has very little to do with teachers,
  is doing a poor job of educating people about art - and very often people
  need the help of a dealer to interpret a 'concept'. And there is no causal
  link between those who have money to buy art as having the skills to make a
  judgement.
