Art - do people really care?

The video below looks at the work of Luc Tuymans (which is worth getting to know, if not outright worshipping). he could drag his works behind the car on the way to a gallery and still get hundreds of thousands for them. But, what happens when he puts his work out in the street, on a concrete wall? out of context, how is his work viewed? the video reveals...



I also typed up a big long debate about how art should do more to entice the viewer, but it sounded cheezy, so just enjoy the video.
