There’s nothing the internet loves more than turning a large group of subjective opinions into something that looks like a consensus. Take a bunch of reviews, assign each a numerical value, average it out, and boom — suddenly art is now math.Of course, not even the most widely beloved movie in history is widely beloved by every single person on the planet.

The glowing expletive about sums up the prevailing liberal mood in the country these days—though perhaps not in the way the show’s curator, Ping Foong, intended. Like the nearby sculpture of a human hand making the gesture, (Middle Finger, 2000), and the photographic series in which Ai gives the same to sites such as the Eiffel Tower and Tiananmen Square (“Study of Perspective,” 1995–2011), FUCK is…

“The hunt is almost as interesting as the acquisition.” — Peggy Guggenheim Collectors know the thrill of the search. For them, the process of finding art—the discovery, the story, the connection—is often as meaningful as the moment of acquisition itself. And here’s something worth considering: artists can approach building their collector base with that same intentional pursuit.
