Every morning you come downstairs for coffee there's chucks of paint on the floor in front of the painting. You don't want your dog to eat them. Most 20th century painters didn't understand how paint works. Owning a priceless painting often requires an additional priceless amount of money to maintain it year after year.. Its a myth that graphics process like a silver print are more tenuous than a painting. They are more tenuous than a rock sculpture. Paintings are non permanent for sure. By a mile.
