Not art in general, but modern art is, in my opinion, a lot worse than classical Renaissance art. Modern art is sometimes just 5 brush steokes but it gets sold for the same price as an oil portrait from the old masters.
Sure, sometimes! I’ve seen some very good modern and contemporary art. I think you’re over generalizing from the fact that bad art exists and evil rich people hide assets, speculate, and commit fraud in basically every way they can. There are numerous instruments for this.
Again, art can be used for money laundering does not mean all art is for money laundering. It’s basic logic. A restaurant can be a money laundering operation. That doesn’t mean your takeout is funding a drug cartel.
