The Dangers Of Making Art Which Looks Like Trash

I am suggesting that the free market determined the value of the risk of destruction of the art and attached that to the art. The insured payed a free market amount for someone to hold on to this risk, and part of this risk required paying a freely contracted amount for the property and loss of investment.. this makes this value a value established by the free market.
I think what you are referring to is fair market value, which is what something will yield if it is sold today.

Good....then we've nothing to disagree about.
Now we can get on with making fun of pretentious art!

Yes, of course...didn't mean to discourage the fun.
Here is an art museum I'd like to check out some day.....
I'll wager that their insurance bill isn't too high.
When you are inevitably(if things go to plan) crushed by an elephant, I will be there. Probably.
Hopefully.
I have a secret weapon....#1 daughter has experience with elephants (in Thailand).
She'll save me!

The Tate receives annual funding from the Department for Culture, Media & Sport.
Tate now spends around £1 million of its general funds each year on purchasing acquisitions and their related costs.
Stalin, Mao, Hussein, Hitler, funded quite a bit of public art also- do you really think anybody would spend their own money on that bag of trash? any more than they would all those massive tacky statues of socialist heroes?
Really? Did we really need to go there? You couldn't of made your point without crossing the "evil dictators" line?

If we want to stop it happening again, yes we need to go there!
We should never forget where that ideology leads, those leaders were not discovered to be evil until it was too late, they were considered benevolent, righteous men of the people, fighting the evil forces of free markets and individualism - in N Korea some still believe it.- and they are forced to fund some of the most massive public art on the planet. So many rulers of great civilizations ordered the most bloated displays of public waste on the way down the tubes- hastening their society's demise.There's a very strong correlation if you think about it.
..
You know that the psychedelic & surrealism movement was literally funded by the FBI & CIA? I don't mean conspiracy 'MK-Ultra' **** or such, I mean "funded to annoy the Soviet-backed 'Socialist Realism' movement".
I just want to make sure you know this, because I'm willing to bet you don't. Government-funding art programs dates back to the mother-****ing feudal era, don't give me this horse****, or at least get better at making ****-arguments.

There is a sculputure in a government office near me that cost thousands..... it looks exactly like an oldworn out, no tread left on it car tire, off the rim with a bulge in one side
Kind of like this, without the rim and smooth
So it is a copy of trash made into art...

Me thinks you need a course on art appreciation and art history. Many works of Christian art, especially from the Renaissance era, were publicly funded and today are considered some of the finest works of art in European history. Many composures of the different eras were commissioned by public funds on occasion. State officials have long indulged themselves in art work, and it isn't always paid for out of their own pocket.

It is sort of like that. It's almost like showing off to one another. Who can spend the most on the least and be least bothered by it?
I think that's why brands like Louis Vuitton exist.
Must be nice!
