Visual Arts & Ethics
Until they breaches force issues into the public eye, the questions of ethics
in the art world receive a little attention. Writers about art have suffered from the fashion called “appropriation”
and it has encouraged the plagiarism. Often, museums exploit curators as writers for hire, and were among the most important
arbitrators of culture in the 20th century. Museums continue to play an important role in the 21st century, they are the repositories
and transmitters of the national values and ideals. Museums have tremendous power and authority in our society, the museums’
artifacts shape the broader culture and the history. Each museum is constantly called upon to make choices, measure its values
and take actions. As
a transformative and force, the role of art will only be realized if art liberates itself from the pressure that corporate
constraints have on determining its future. Artists should ignore economic opportunities to further their ability to work. If art will continue to
function without a clear cultural agenda but according to the agenda of economic globalization, it will lose its significance.
Art expert certifying authenticity, or museum exhibition sponsor shouldn’t be in a position to benefit financially from
the decision that they are in a position to make. Private ownership of the cultural means of production and the sell for profit has become normal practice.
The cultural services and goods are not unique outputs of historical creative talent and genius in America. The only
exceptions were publicly supported libraries and museums. Over the past year, museums have increasingly joined the ranks of the market. And as a result,
the concept of no market controlled work of art or institution is almost extinct. Parallel with private appropriation of symbolic activity has been
the rationalization of artistic production. The distribution capabilities have increased immeasurably the profitability of
cultural production. The
New Tate Modern in London, Guggenheim Museum, DIA’s opened Beacon facility in New York offer prominent examples of new
trend. Their attention is directed to the undeniable impressiveness of the new technologies of message making. The ethical criteria reflects a society whose
social values and norms are in motion, and whose institutions such as universities and museums conform to market pressure. In 20th century, mission of museum as an institution
in the U.S. was predictable. It included the collecting, preserving, and protecting what it contained. Today, this concept
has changed. In the U.S., the museums first supported by wealthy patrons and by private endowments. They have
served as a reminder and celebrant of the established order. For hundred years, aristocracy and church provided the economic
foundation for culture, they brokered and controlled culture. The transformation of the U.S. museums into public relations
agents for the interests of big business and its ideological allies slowly evolved in the 20th century. Corporate supporters are bedrock to nonprofit
organizations. They can afford to give away vast of money for exhibitions that they find relevant. Unfortunately, often, philanthropy
is a smart form of advertising and philanthropists want to see exhibitions that attract viewers and support social tastes
that are not controversial or difficult to comprehend. Many ethical issues confronting art people and art organizations today
because works of art have gained commodity status.

 Periodically, the different, not related to visual arts Web sites offer for sell the
artworks and mention that they are painted by "RUSS" in "NeoPopRealism" manner. For example, one on
the left. Do not let them fool you. This artwork was made not by the NeoPopRealism creator Nadia Russ. If you have the doubts purchasing NeoPopRealist artworks by Nadia Russ, you are welcome

the back, if it is canvas, this way ("Queen of Magic " was an exception):
