It's hard to explain your emotions when you see a work of art.
Most museums - with all their burdens to pay for exhibitions, administration, and security - really don't have any money really to acquire art, with few exceptions.
There were periods when the art market got overheated, but there is no reason it should appreciate dramatically.
Unfortunately, the boards of art institutions tend to be populated with well-meaning supporters of the arts who often lack any business background or appetite for imposing appropriate discipline.
Art is one thing that can go on mattering once it has stopped hurting.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.
The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
