Contrary to popular opinion, things don't go stale particularly fast in the art world.
Poor Georgia O'Keeffe. Death didn't soften the opinions of the art world toward her paintings.
Everyone goes to the same exhibitions and the same parties, stays in the same handful of hotels, eats at the same no-star restaurants, and has almost the same opinions. I adore the art world, but this is copycat behavior in a sphere that prides itself on independent thinking.
