I’m not going to lie, I found this absurd myself when I first came to know of it! The more I let it sink in, the more I realized that as a person who believes “art is up for people’s interpretation”, I believe art is what you choose to believe. Isn’t that how photographs work too?! A photographer captures a frame of mundane objects but in his eyes, a deeper meaning is hidden in each frame. So, I don’t think we can create a definite matrix to evaluate art, it will always be different for each person. At the end, we all might just have to agree to disagree!
Agreed, the reason why Art is subjective. You know my problem with "The Comedian" is not that it's conceptual, it's that some ultraweathly individuals are paying $150,000 for a banana.
While, there are so many mindblowing artworks out there that are struggling to get attention. This makes me wonder, should 'Who created it' be the only criteria to evaluate an artwork?
