Art Gambler's Market

Seth Mydans article on the peculiar state of the Indonesian art market titled, Buyers jump on Indonesia as next Asian art tiger @ http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/03/26/arts/indoart.php?page=2 was intriguing because in the world of paintings-to-order/I-don't-know-what-I-want, investors are looking in all directions to make money while at the same time immature artists are busy painting for the market to meet the high demand, losing character and soul + in my view, it looks like an art stampede, killing themselves + I hope the speculators/artists will learn their lessons quickly before it's too late.
