@oppen my brain just said "art collectors don't use their money to appreciate your art, they use your art to appreciate their money" and now I can't un-think it
@phooky that works perfectly too
@phooky @oppen well, that and tax dodging
@phooky@octodon.social @oppen@merveilles.town i mean, its true
@phooky @oppen add in the financial definition of "appreciate" and that's doubly fucking perfect
@phooky @oppen 💯
@phooky @oppen I suspect that art collectors' response to that would be
@planettimmy @phooky @oppen I prefer "art Enjoyer" actually 🙄💅
@phooky @oppen or they use someones art to make you appreciate their money
@phooky @oppen Can I quote you on that?
@drwho @oppen you are welcome to misattribute it to Alan Parsons :)
@phooky @oppen If you are serious about that bit, absolutely.
@phooky @oppen How many arts do you have to own to be a collector?
@phooky that works perfectly too
