There is always going to be some sort of emotional element when purchasing art even when people say there isn't. As far as I am concerned the art market allows artists to continue producing these works of art so by supporting them financially we are ensuring that there will be culturally significant objects in the future. The stark reality is that if there is no art market there is no art Nicholas Forrest artmarketblog.com Hi Waylon,

What about emotional investment? Don't misread me, I see and understand the speculative art market, but I wonder if one might be perpetuating a very negative trend in potentially culturally significant works by seeking out monetary gain in these pieces...hmmm...interesting...and well written!
