Thanks for the comment. The problem with traditionalist critics is that although they often have no idea what they are talking about, they still set the agenda, as it were, 'for the rest of us'. This is good, this is bad etc. Buchloh destroyed Beuys's 'career' in the US, for example. Tracey Emin is now being touted as 'actually quite good' - art criticism is all over the place.
