Please explain to me how the time a person spends in front of an artwork is relevant to the quality of that artwork.

Dirk Sabbe . 31 October 2006

I would say because the time spent signifies that it is interesting enough to stand there and look at it for it is stimulating. The downside of this logic is that people could simple be zoning out while standing in front of the piece..one could argue that the zoning out and thinking is evoked by the artistic piece. is that of value to the quality of the art? what defines quality
