		<description>I've read this post, and the comments, with a good deal of interest, and thought I would weigh in with my two 'bits: 
I have degrees in Fine Art and Art History (not that this makes my opinion any more valid - I'm just trying to provide a bit of context for my take on this conversation) and I think that many of the non-artist art collectors I've met have been drawn to abstract and non-objective art because it is valued by the "art experts" i.e. art critics and art historians. 
If art criticism is the “description, analysis and interpretation of art” http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/artsed/visart102030/vaglos.html then I honestly believe that anyone who can see and think is eminently well qualified to tell you what s/he sees when looking at art and what thoughts/feelings it raises for him/her. However, the preconception (or, perhaps, misconception?) many people have with abstract and non-representational art is that while anyone can tell you how a work of art makes him/her feel, only an art critic/historian will be able to make an intelligent commentary on what a work of art “means”. 
And as long as people continue to believe this, I think there be a large population of art collectors who will allow art experts to convince them that abstract and non-representational art is valuable because it is the very art form that “requires” expert interpretation.</description>
