Digital Art Market = Cultural Cringe?

In the time I spend reading essays, books, and other things involving the art world I may find myself diving head-first into, the one thing that I always understood buying art is like a religious belief, it involves an act of faith. The value placed on pure genius is something unmeasurable.

The value of art lies in less quantifiable reals ran by beauty, quality, and rarity, which becomes manipulatable and becomes treated as a commodity, the spiritual, intellectual, and aesthetics are often mixed with the social and aspirational.

This is what has occurred in our present century, a wise man once said “Today’s art world is fantasy-driven” that wise man was Phillip Hook. Could that possibly be that there is more passion than rationality?
