Funny you mention Hauser&Wirth whose main gallery‘s curator here in Zurich happens to be one of the other mums you meet in playgrounds, and who tells me about their upcoming stuff, which all seem exactly to cater to the kind of audience you describe. Too much money! Too on the nose! Ha ha
Yeah, they have tons of geniuses on their roster, but their strategy of recent is just very transparent to me. They still show tons of amazing art by the types that I love (Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Tetsumi Kudo, Philip Huston, Ida Applebroog, etc etc), but the mega gallery business practices are really demystified and make you start to wonder whether art matters at all.
"Paul Krugman is still one of the dumbest men in all of media." Lol. I thought I was the only person who thought this. Made my day.
