"Caveat Emptor"

Ok,, I've read the article and it has much the same sound as the controversy of private collectors of art putting strains upon the acquisition of art by museums. More than one parallel here.

Were it not for the private collectors of art, there would not be much of a market. If museums were to control the market,, it would be a severely limited one and promising artists would most certainly be unable to exist. Private collectors keep the market going and keep it healthy in most every way. Ohh,,, and being largely unregulated, there is plenty of unethical dealing going on as well.

This is a good discussion and I'm happy to see Nick post this article and Mike's rebuttle to the article's content.

Thanks to you both.

Mark J.D.
