Sad, honestly. I don't care if it's all money laundering, I don't care if it's all a Jewish scam, whatever. At least it's art, and at least they legitimately did produce some novel and interesting things. If every single cultural institution collapses then we're just left with... what? Tiktok and Instagram? Even the internet is dying outside of the small handful of the absolute biggest social media apps. What an awful timeline this is.

It's expected. Yet another sign of our perpetual recession

The tax evasion scheme will never "collapse", it's practically a golden goose. What will collapse are the legitimate industries around it that are actually into the art, because it turns out the main people buying are investors who only care about how much their pick of the year gets pumped up before they sell.

Isn't this more about the print magazine market dying than the fine art market? Do you have some stats on how the fine arts are doing, or just how magazines are suffering?

'Religious' creators are the biggest grifters because they have lines of religious sheeple that will buy these kinds of shit no matter what.

Yeah I had that thought too. Of course print magazines will have shrunk a lot, no matter what industry you’re talking about. (Although they’re actually making a slight comeback as a hipster/premium thing now.)

I don't call it a grift if it's done earnestly. They create religious slop because they want to and people buy religious slop because they want to

Good, should have drawn anime girls.

Is Artforum a magazine? I'm not sure if that really is an indication of a collapse of the art market, so much as it is further evidence of the collapse of magazines and physically printed media - which is equally unfortunate.

But assuming the art market is also crashing, it wouldn't really surprise me.
Firstly, there's plenty of good cheaper options to decorate your house with, from posters, art print, to mass produced copies (paintings, but exact copies of an original, or even on top of a poster), and let's not forget photos and prints people can make at home of work they like.
Also, with people becoming more minimalist in their decorations, they're not going to have as much on their walls as previous generation - though this may change as there's been a push back against modern minimalism as of late, so maybe the zoom zooms or... is it generation beta? Anyway, maybe the betas (lol) will save the art market.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the art market was smeared with the same stink of galley art. There's only so many times the public can see what the hack frauds display and call art, before the public thinks 'maybe I just hate art?'.
So I'll use this as an opportunity to say; Fuck Conceptual Art.

This all said, I don't necessarily think this means the public's interest is actually moving away from art. Really, art is more popular than ever, just look at all the art being created and viewed the world over, we're going through an art boom! People are seeing more art than ever, but this may mean people are very specific about their art tastes, and I doubt they'll find actual paintings that suit the modern digital denizen taste.

the fine art market was intentionally destroyed 150+ years ago because jews were made that goyim could be born with talent that they couldn't buy. They had bought titles, they bought land, they bought religions, they bought people, and they bought art, but they could not buy talent.

No matter how much money they paid for a piece of art, nobody ever gave a fuck who owned it, only who made it.

So they bought up all the galleries, magazines and critics, destroyed any avenue that talent might thrive in or be admired in, and replaced real art with """""modernism""""", AKA the only crap they and their kin are able to create.

just perpetuating the machine's sick workings until the sun fucking explodes (all praise be to sun-sama, the best thing god created is an end for this tragedy)
