If artists, art critics, and art buyers really had any interest in reducing the widening gap between the rich and the poor, they would be focusing their efforts on developing countries, where spending a few thousand dollars on the purchase of works by indigenous artists could make a real difference to the wellbeing of entire villages.
如果艺术家、艺术批评家和艺术品买家真的有志于缩小日益扩大的贫富差距，他们可以将时间花在发展中国家，花在与当地艺术家的合作上，在这些国家，几千美元的卖画收入就可以让整个村子的人的福利得到真正的改变。
