(7 of 13) THE ART MARKET IS LESS ETHICAL THAN THE STOCK MARKET: JERRY SALTZ

The goal of IQ2 US is to raise the level of public discourse on our most challenging issues. To provide a new forum for intelligent discussion, grounded in facts and informed by reasoned analysis. To transcend the toxically emotional and the reflexively ideological. To encourage recognition that the opposing side has intellectually respectable views. To engage the live audience as active participants who will ask questions and decide which speakers have carried the day by voting on the motions both before and after the debate.

Jerry who are you kidding, what bubble do you live in? The Art World has become just like the Entertainment World. It's closed , manipulated, and to get anywhere in it you have to be connected. For example, who is Saatchi anyway , but someone who infiltrated and manipulated the artworld as any giant advertiser would do. Face it , these people are not mental giants but money manipulators. Everything is not fine and dandy in the land of Oz.

Ethics is indeed, the true partner aesthetics...The good work for the 21st century is to recontextualize, redefine, and re-experience what exactly is meant by "the good and the beautiful"

At the very least, there should be a board for artists to go to when people stiff them. Artists create the product for the art market, and they are constantly being ripped off, and there is no place for them to go to file a complaint when that happens. I spent 3 months making a piece that now hangs in a collectors house, and the dealer never paid me for it, but if I make a big fuss, I'm a "difficult artist".

Art dealers are NOT artists. Maybe want to be but they are not.

from 3:52 to 4:00 -> Mark Rothko called critics "leaches", and here's why: most art critics know NOTHING about what ACTUALLY IS TO BE AN ARTIST, and what it is to FEEL ART! there shouldn't be art critic, there should be ART JOURNALISM, descriptive rather than analytic, informative rather than judgemental, objective rather than subjective. art should be left to the viewer to be endorsed or dismissed, unbiased. culture turned into speculation = end of civilization.

I make art. don't you? USAcentric.I'll do a talk but I have not the cultural capital. Game.

Maybe he should think about getting an education. On many occasions he argues against himself, as well as not addressing how they are immune from financial manipulation.

as a 4 year, accredited, private, art school past attendee....i agree zoas41. my sr. thesis teacher kept me from graduating...after 4 and one half years of hard work. 60 grand later....who can get succeed with this sort of debt?! my parents couldn't give me the trust fund most have to fall back on. the art world is a total complete scam with ego maniac educators producing the next new "hip" young art bot.

I love Jerry!

ugh this twit is weaving in ad hominems and fallacies left and right. the other side has never argued that 'all' of art market are unethical. constructing an argument against his own asinine assumptions of the other side, congratulations ass.
