The Curse of the Mona Lisa was a documentary narrated by art critic Robert Hughes. Hughes shows viewers the art world in the 1960's and the present day. I found the difference in art between these two time periods astounding. In the 60's, art was exhibited in museums for the publics enjoyment but now individual collectors spend millions of dollars to own a piece for themselves. Hughes tries to point out that art has turned into a business over the years. I personally think that it is a shame that art has become all about money and trading. But if collectors enjoy the piece enough to spend millions on it, there is nothing that we can do about it.
