I used to really love palladium boots, but most of them are now made in China with the accompanying drop in quality.
I had a decent couple of leather pairs, and have gone through maybe 3 canvas/fabric pairs in the past 12 months.
And ever since they paid a Kardashian to advertise them they’ve become massively overpriced.
It’s a shame as I used to love them
But would that then imply that all commissioned works aren’t art?
Or does the difference of who (or more specifically what) you commission to produce something decide whether it’s art?
