Skewing young?

Michael Rubenstein

The Wall Street Journal has an article on young buyers in the contemporary art market. I don't know if this is a new trend or not since these are circles I haven't traveled in. Thank god. But for me it is another sign of the apocalypse. See a slide show here.

Update: I visited the Martin Ramirez exhibit at the MAM yesterday after posting this and it hit me. This is the explanation for the chocolate horses and trains on a stick at the only way out exhibit gift shop! For the gummi bacon and bacon band aids at the Francis Bacon exhibit last year! Grab them young and pry the money out of their parents! It's not about the art or teaching appreciation, it's sell, sell, sell! (This is by far the most exclamation points I have posted to date.)
