Recent developments, auction and acquisitions
The current text mentions that in 2019 an auction was scheduled to raise money for acquisitions of works of art made by women and artists of color. The purpose of this auction was to "redefine the canon". Some works of these women artists and artists of color represent primarily women and people of color. The creators of the works also being women and people of color, the question may be raised whether they would have made these works if they would not themselves have been in exactly the same categories. Ego art. Of course the reply to such an objection from these 'new canon' artists will be that the present 'canon-driven' collection is also ego art, mainly portraying the lives and concerns of well-to-do white ("privileged") people. But is this true? And is this an argument for selling some works by over-represented white privileged artists to raise money to acquire works not by a criterion of their artistic merit but by a criterion of the nature of their makers: women and artists of color? In this way, the characteristics of a work of art are being confused by the characteristics of their makers. For instance,'a work of art is valuable because it is made by someone who does not have white privilege'. I sense a judgement bias here. --Hansung02 (talk) 16:30, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
