There was a time when some artists, rejecting the whole art “scene”, strove to make art that couldn’t be captured, couldn’t be collected, couldn’t be bought and sold. That was then. “We do live in more conservative times, not just politically but culturally; hence the impulse toward conservation. More poignantly, artists want to be remembered when they’re gone. It’s easy if you’re Rembrandt, even though all things must eventually fade. But it’s not so easy if you’re a creator of youthfully defiant ephemeral art.”
