Byrne blikt antropo-sociologisch terug op Art Basel Miami:

“art evolved as a kind of display useful for sexual selection. [...] The maker may have genetic fitness not immediately apparent, especially given the fact that the typical creative person’s uniform is not a power suit. If he or she can afford to expend mucho time and energy on aesthetic pursuits, for example, the person must be doing O.K. in order to be able to ‘waste’ such time and effort. [..]
This is simply a re-establishment of animal hierarchies but with a new set of rules. [...]
The testosterone AND the estrogen levels are through the roof. [..] “Those are all sold but we’ve got one just like it, I can show you a picture.”
