In case you missed it,

The art world has this essay on repeat, have you read it? Would love to hear your thoughts.

“American art is suffering a polycrisis that combines a lack of belief in and support for its artists born after 1975, the structural de-centering of artists in the art industry, and the subsequent stagnation and possible breakdown of formal innovation in art.” New York Real Estate and the Ruin of American Art by Josh Kline
