Comment on A journalist goes undercover to reveal the absurdity of the art scene

Comments

The book sounds fun, the review gets tedious at the end, whining about faux populism (as opposed to vrai populism?), blaming art collectors -- if only there was some way to make sure to only sell art to the right people.

It sounds like the author had fun reading the book, started writing a fun review, but then it dawned on him that the book questioned a bit more of the art world then he was comfortable with, so he found a scapegoat in collectors.
