Info received, words of leading "art world agitator" Charlie Finch: "the swells in PB [Palm Beach] are saying that 'it is not cool to be seen buying art' under the new dispensation." I'm not saying the swells are trendsetters, too, but the question is, having in mind the Brandeis/Rosa Art Museum business, and general Hirst/Koons etc fatigue, and the new US administration placing a premium on ethics, not e.g. consumption: could art go out of fashion, big-time?
