I found it interesting talking about the art market and what makes are valuable. Typically big names are the ones that have higher valued items. Its harder to create a following around anonymous art since it is hard to create a following around a single piece. Art is interesting in the fact that beauty can be very subjective. There are also moral and ethics that need to be considered when selling art. The discussion of museums buying and selling art was very interesting. I never thought about the fact that when art goes into a private collection, it is essentially lost to the public eye. Museums have a certain responsibility to keep certain works available to the masses. They also usually have the best tools for restoring and keeping each piece in good condition. There can be a lot of money in art, but in certain cases no matter the value of the piece, there is a duty to keep it for the public eye
