Hickey Response

In  his essay, Hickey takes a very negative stance towards the commercialization of the art market. Ya he may seem like a grumpy old man stuck in the "glory days" but i think he has some interesting points. One thing that stuck out to me was when he addressed the constant changing nature of what aesthetic things were popular and how corporations capitalized on that. I think that is something we see today constantly, whether it be apple products or the hottest new fashion style. Im going along with Hickey's negativity here. Another thing I enjoyed was his romantic relationship with cars and how it brought him into the art world. I am impressed with his skills as a mechanic and I think our generation has lost that connection to our own technology.
