granted as mentioned earlier i am speaking from a sentimentalist perspective,
but art is also sentimentalism, no?
we value art for art's sake?
i value this collection for history's sake - i understand the need to monetize it
but i would like to see it go into the hands of people to whom it speaks most to
if that cant happen, then, *sigh*
