Of course they are -- they are gifts from wealthy donors. But museums do not buy them. I take that back - I was at the Glenstone Museum a while back and they had a huge JEff Wall print of a shot which must have been taken on an off day. As a commercial photographer I made shots sort of like his for lots of clients and other than his potential clients, mine were no different and possibly better too. Bang & Olufsen can afford to retouch a still life for £8500 ($14+k) but Jeff Wall can’t.

The two-day symposium was an attempt to shake up conventional institutionalized discourses about photography and to be an opportunity to think about what, if anything, has “changed” about photography over the last decade or so."
