A new show at New York’s is made up of “only art that can’t be bought. Thus, the exhibition is composed of work that artists either kept or, in a couple of weird cases, sold then bought back. By this curatorial criterion, nearly every artist on earth could be included. Curator Alanna Heiss compounds the problem by haughtily stating that the show evinces her ‘unfortunate allergy’ to the marketplace. But for the director or curator of an institution that relies on the largesse of artists and dealers–who in turn depend on commerce–to claim an ‘allergy’ to the marketplace is not only smug, it’s deluded and hypocritical.”
