Does Art NFT's Supercharge What Was Already Wrong About Art

Yes. With the caveat that we are talking about the nonsense stuff that no-one would be interested in if there wasn't the celebrity type hype to go with it.

What is supposedly good about it is all made up. Art is totally subjective.

Wander round our local Art Fest and you will see some wonderful paintings going for next to nothing and others, that look like they were painted by a toddler, going for exorbitant prices and everything in between. And that's just a local market. Extrapolate that out to the international one and you get mind-boggling amounts. Put NFTs on top of that and it gets even more ridiculous.

And I say this as an artist who has sold many paintings in her time. Abstract ones at that! 

Even the family can't agree on what makes good art. My partner is not keen on my stuff although he tries his best to appreciate it. He's more of a realist and likes art to look like something recognisable. My son, like me, enjoys the colours, patterns and textures.
