That's the beauty of art. If you can afford it, you can buy it, lock it away in a little room...and then just look at it to your heart's content, and feel privleged.
Art is a very personal thing. Everyone reacts differently and individually to a work of art. I cannot honestly say that I've ever enjoyed viewing art more in a group than I have on my own.
Then again, the temptation to hang it in your living room and invite the entire PTA over would be strong. "That old thing? Oh, that's just a DaVinci I picked up the other day at the flea market."
Remember that part in "The Freshman", when Penelope Ann Miller tells Matthew Broderick that the Mona Lisa hanging over her mob daddy's (Marlon Brando) mantle is the real one, and the one in the Louvre is a cunning replacement?
