There are plenty of reasons one might spend their time with certain
art and not certain other art, without making an implicit judgment
about artistic value at all (area of expertise, access, medical
condition, risk aversion to spending one's time examining new
works, etc.). So why do you say this is an "implicit necessity
of the art world?" I don't get it.
