The market is a fundamental American value.
In many respects it defines American society, and its associated desire to escape the despotic and tyrannical governments of old Europe.
Echoing Flag and Think Flag it raises the cultural and institutional embeddedness of the Market.
But it also raises the whole nexus between art and economics and the drive to subsist and produce art (which is increasingly commoditized and sustained through market patronage).
