Today I learn that a 7cm x 7cm silverpoint sketch of the head of a bear is expected to change hands for around £12m.
So it could be yours for as little as one pounf/dollar/euro for each single barely discernible detail at the limit of human naked eye vision.
I realise that I already own a plethora of such details. Look here is one: --------------------------------------------------------------------------> •
All I need to do is arrange them all in the right order.
Years ago when the Mona Lisa was in New York. Robert Hughes was moved to comment that crowds didn't come to look at it, but to have seen it.
If one is to queue for hours to be grant less time than granted to a deeply held breath then far from being necessarily philistinic, taking a selfie is spot on, it could even be art.

Is voyeurism an activity? If so, I watched Robert Hughes critique the sensuous forms that pervade architecture of Gaudí. (Visions of Space (2003): Episode 1/3 Antoni Gaudí God's Architect).
Great as my admiration might be, and I do love Gaudí and believe that he has done more for the arch than any other named architect, but that doesn't amount to liking it. The documentary is as good as one would expect.
I only recorded this first episode from the series, the others featured Albert Speer and finally Mies van der Rohe, and I declined the offer.

I watched Korean television, listened to German Christmas carols, sipped French wine and read English writing. I’d say that was cultural.
