Found art

In his review of The New Museum Triennial, "The Ungovernables" (NY Times, 2/17/12), a show devoted to the work of younger artists, Holland Cotter writes, "How ungovernable can artists be who have all, so to speak, attended the same global art school, studied under the same star teachers, from whom they learned to pitch their art, however obliquely, to one world market?...If even just a few of these artists manage to discover, as they grow and change, what ungovernable really is, and be it, future generations will owe the New Museum a debt of thanks."

That art is rare there can be little doubt, and always it takes the artist by surprise.
