胡博元同学In my opinion, some modern art works were created by artists inspired by really simple ideas. These inspirations might be completely random, or even absurdly straight forward. But commentators usually tend to over analyze these works, especially the ones from famous masters, trying to give the work significant meaning.

陈圣鹏The artwork is collected because its artistic value is appreciated and the author’s aesthetic sensations behind are empathized with, the economic collectability of it as well as the social status that it brings about are just accompanying bonuses.

In this sense, these people are alienated from the genuine purpose of collecting arts.
