I think that "most people" would rather buy a framed poster from Aaron Bros 
or Z Gallerie for $200 than buy something original to support an artist. 
They "know" the poster (Monet, Picasso, etc) and want to live with it. A lot 
of money is spent on "apartment art" and the original artist that may have 
something to offer never enters their mind.
