I hope you don’t believe that about all art. Art is one of the pillars of Homo Sapien behavior, and it is found pretty much anywhere human settlements are found. I worry that many of us are becoming too distracted with life, logistics, and “productivity” to take time out to experience the things that make us human. Maybe that’s why art has become associated with the rich - maybe they’re the only ones who have time to enjoy it.

True, but art as an industry created a bubble on its own. Nowadays it gives the perception that it is all about imposture and speculation.

Art, yes. 100k painting with no cultural significance... that's probably more about rich idle hands or money laundering.

I think it's a not uncommon view particularly about fine art as bought and sold in the galleries and auction houses of New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo.
