My daughter chose INVESTING WITH ART as subject for her Bachelor Degree Thesis. Now, yesterday at the presentation of the subjects, her exams coordinator told to the class that this subject is not really suited for ART LOVERS because they’ll need to work with an Auction House and they will discover the dark side of art. In his opinion this could jeopardize their vision on a so called loved subject. 1. I don’t think he needed to share his opinion at this stage 2. His opinion is wrong 😑 Thoughts?

Definitely wrong. This thesis could be very important to your daughter working in the art industry. It's a very practical topic which is something some academics are not able to process. I experienced this as an adjunct lecturer at a University.

It's deeply philosophical. I think he's implying about the difference between art _purely_ for the sake of expressing something vs. art for the sake of popularity. yes, you can express something you really mean and also have that expression become popular, and make you money in a market. I'd argue this is rare, because of the nature of optimisation. markets optimise. spending much time thinking from a market-first perspective inherently means optimising for popularity. this is at expense of optimising for some kind of inner unique expression (this type of "purity" of love). I think a lot of artists struggle with this, it's a recurring trope. One wants to express themselves fully, but also wants to make a living. I think his opinion isn't wrong, but it isn't true either, it's only his opinion. but I agree that sharing deep opinions to impressionable people (students) gives them a bias. but what doesn't? everything is bias. Schopenhauer would have had a similar take to this guy:

I think we should all watch a great Tim Robbins film ‘Cradle Will Rock’ ... and understand that first of all making ‘art’ is a job, and like all jobs is subject to the capitalist system in which we live, secondly that in the capitalist system the rules are against art and work as an expression of freedom and criticism, but for the approval of the capitalist system in which we live ... imo ofcourze 100 $degen 50 $RARE *
