Many art-worlders have an if-you-say-so approach to art: Everyone is so scared of missing out on the next hot artist that it's never clear whether people are liking work because they like it or because other people do. Everyone is keeping up with the Joneses, and there are more Joneses than ever.

  • -- Jerry Saltz 杰瑞·萨特茨

许多艺术世界主义者对艺术都有一种“如果你这么说”的态度:每个人都非常害怕错过下一个热门艺术家,以至于永远不清楚人们喜欢工作是因为他们喜欢它,还是因为其他人喜欢它。每个人都在攀比,而攀比的人比以往任何时候都多。
