I did not say that most pieces in the Art Show were not for sale. I said that, of the original pieces in the Art Show, most were either not for sale or were very similar to what the artist has been painting for the last decade or more, showing little originality. There were also many art prints; in fact, there were some original paintings marked NFS with prints of the same painting for sale right next to them. I admit that I may be jaded; a neofan who has not been to as many Art Shows over the years would have probably considered the original pieces highly original. Also, the fans who don't mind art prints instead of original works would have found much to buy.
