Ordinary people don't know what privileges stand for. Power corrupts. I have seen people, whom just by being dragged up the corporate ladder to metamorphose themselves into a total different person. That's the reason we got rid of autocrats and dictators and embraced democracy. That said, its not because a group of peole is in a democratic society, privileges have been abolished. For instance when Enron art collection. Circa 2003 Much of the collection was bought by an in-house art committee, chaired by Lea Fastow, wife of indicted former Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow. Given a $20 million budget, she traveled to New York; Venice, Italy; and elsewhere in search of pieces. Fast forward for today Weingarten congenially welcomed an intimate group of friends and art media, introducing Black and discussing the artist's take on the "mechanics of desire, access and privilege." The sophisticated art world milieu, where on this night prosecco and caviar were served, is far removed from the point where Weingarten began her journey back from the Enron debacle. houston.culturemap.com
