You misunderstand the business. Art is for selling. The fact it is garbage is inconsequential. The important part is to find a fool to buy. That is what the New York art scene is all about, locating fools and selling them.

For art, go to Santa Fe or Gallup or Flagstaff

My parents are friends with the Blue Dog guy -- George Rodrigue; they went to high school together. He laughs his a*s off at people who pay top dollar for that blue dog. A few years ago, he told my dad he paints about a dozen dogs a day, and goes back when he thinks up a background; Eiffel Tower one day, maybe an oak tree another, throw out a setting sun or maybe paint the dog red for a twist. He's laughing all the way to the bank.

He's actually a talented artist, but he's also a shrewd businessman.
