Art usually only makes the news in America when the subject

Summary

This quote suggests that art, in American society, predominantly gains attention and recognition only when there is a financial aspect involved. The media primarily focuses on the financial aspects related to art, such as record-breaking auction prices or the economic value of artworks. Other significant aspects of art, such as creativity, cultural and social commentary, or artistic expression, often receive less coverage. The quote highlights the economic-driven narrative surrounding art in America and raises questions about whether it diminishes the true essence and impact of artistic endeavors.
