Yeah, context is important with art. Technical skill is one thing; but what draws certain folks to certain art is resonance which results from surrounding culture/personal taste (Christ, I wanna wash the douche hands that unironically typed that douche sentence). Something that subjective has feelings and justification attached to it.

There is a line though. Duct taping a banana to a wall and selling it as art smacks of folks disappearing up their own ass to seem erudite for seeing things in a “work” that bails on stuff like; I don’t know, skill/aesthetic/style/how your apartment smells after it’s third week. Maybe that resonates with someone, and I hope I never meet them. Let alone spend $120,000 on it. I’m ranting and am sorry.
