    He paid for it, it’s his art to destroy now.
    If you don’t like that, or think I’m being insensitive, then maybe we shouldn’t let rich people buy and hoard art.

    Is it sad to see? Yes, absolutely. But not any more sad than it falling into the hands of a private collector in the first place.

          More like an editor, even. Making the persecution just so much sadder.
