Yes, and like you said earlier it’s not just a matter of assessing the art, a good patron would have to be able to asses the artist as well.

There’s plenty of things that can go wrong, so it’s never without risk, but at least you can know beforehand that you’re choosing to work with extraordinary talent.

Yes. Thank you for providing insight into this for me!
