On a random excursion in incomparable Soho, New York, I stumbled across a prominent typical gallery. Lovely how it all unfolds in front of my eyes.
- Where are you?
- I am outside an art gallery.
- What do you see?
- I see the reflection of my feet on the ground.
and I see paintings as well as a man facing the computer.
- What kind of paintings?
- Art history tells me that was an abstract painting.
- How does the art history come to know this?
