Ok I dont know much about art history but here is a what if question posed in an article about the Titanic in the Denver Post for March 19,2012 by William Porter- wporter@denverpost.com.
Consider : if mining heir Benjamin Guggenheim had not gone down with the ship,his daughter Peggy would likely not have inherited $2.5 million on her 21st birthday in 1919. Without that,she would have been unable to underwrite future art masters such as Jackson Pollock, Max Ernst, Man Ray and Paul Klee. Would the midcentury cultual landscape have been altered?
