ART: VAN GOGH'S CONTINUING SIGNIFICANCE

Another "new" Van Gogh to me: I don't know this one, because it's been in a private collection, now going to the auction block.  It's expected to sell for $30 to 50 million.  No museum will ever be able to afford this and so it will go away again, a kind of sleeping death. It confirms the bedrock of economics, of commodity, of capitalism, that art elitists must not deny.  Their bedfellow is a jailor from which there is no escape.

So I look at a picture and yearn.
