Public Attitudes
Contemporary art can sometimes seem at odds with a public that does not feel that art and its institutions share its values.

Some critics like Julian Spalding and Donald Kuspit have suggested that skepticism, even rejection, is a legitimate and reasonable response to much contemporary art.
