Guy,

OK, I was too quick with the "brainwashed masses". What I tried to say was that
just because the work of the mentioned artists/photographers sells in large
numbers (as evidenced by the auction results), it does not mean it is great
art/photography. I have nothing against people trying different forms of
expression (I enjoy work of Bruce Nauman, for instance). And I hope that I did
not give an impression that "anyone who disagrees is an idiot".
