What the Chuck?

Am I the only one who feels like Charlie Rose is a dumbass when he talks about/to artists? We had last week's episodes saved up, including one with Lucian Freud's dealer and an old friend (John...Richardson? the art historian who's writing the multi-volume Picasso bio?) and seriously, Charlie was asking these TOTALLY inane questions. At one point he said something to the effect of, "So...there's a list of collectors who always are looking for Freud's paintings?" No, both of your interviewees have only called Freud The Greatest Living British Artist like, fifteen times, therefore, the gallery sends dudes with sandwich boards out onto the street to advertise that he has work for sale.

I mean...

If you're an artist of any stature (ie, highly collected or respected like Freud), your work is sold before the show is hung. I don't know this by personal experience or anything, but come on, Charlie! I would like it if you could at least act like you know. For me, anyway.
