This could be any morning. A man enters the subway station, your dressed in a jeans, a cheap shirt and placed near the entrance ... pulls out a violin from the box and starts playing with enthusiasm for all the people that passing , is the morning rush hour. During the 45 minutes he was playing the violin, was virtually ignored by all passengers in the Metro.
Nobody knew who this musician, Joshua Bell is just one of the best violinists in the world non-stop running the most hallowed pieces of music history, with a very special instrument, a Stradivarius violin, worth estimated at more than 3 million.
A few days earlier, Bell had played in the Boston Symphony, where the best places for the concert cost $ 1000 entry. This experience has been recorded on video, shows men and women who walk very quickly, each doing one thing, but all indifferent to the sound of the violin ... the initiative was conducted by The Washington Post, in order to launching a debate on the value of art and its context.
CONCLUSION: we are used to give value to things when they are in a given context. In this case, Bell was a work of art in itself, but out of context, an artifact of luxury without the label of a famous mark.
