I love this quote; “Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences.” (Brian End), as I believe that all art has merit no matter who created it. To someone a piece of art may be just an object, but to another it may “speak to them”, for whatever reason. Hence we end up with collectors seeking those pieces which say the most to their hearts and triggering the best experience in their minds.
