Taking the Protests to the Art World

By MELENA RYZIK

The Occupy Wall Street movement took on the art world, sort of, this 
week, with a splinter group, Occupy Museums. Convened on Thursday 
evening through a Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr posts, about 20 people 
made their way from the Museum of Modern Art to the New Museum to a 
downtown gallery, protesting what they say is the conflation of art and 
commerce, the snobbery of the art market and high ticket prices at 
museums, which they called the “temples of the cultural elite.”
