There was a nice article posted yesterday which briefly talks about the massive presence that auction results have in news coverage of the art world and why that should be left for the finance section. Art is supposed to be something more than just another financial instrument; it is powerful and influential. Breathtaking all while breathing life into those fortunate enough to be inspired. We do not hear enough stories about how art has an impact on the people themselves… Sometimes that is a far more meaningful story to tell. The article is really about 32 year-old artist Dominic Quagliozzi, who is battling Cystic Fibrosis, and one particular work of art. It is a real “art world’ news story.
