The internet. Don't believe the official narrative from art history class is the gospel. It's good to know, but it's just one story. I'd also recommend looking for counter-narratives. Another region of the world will have an entirely different cohort canonized. Those artists are every bit as skilled and exciting. It seems the internet has just recently learned (again) about the Chicago Imagists, the Czech Surrealists, Egyptian Surrealists. Declaring New York City, Paris, or Bejing, "the center of the art world" at any point in time, is boring and lazy. It's the art historian's flat earth society. It's a load-bearing fiction. It may be where a concentration of money is at a point in time, but that doesn't mean that's where the interesting stories, art, or ideas are happening. The dictionary of Obscure Sorrows has a definition for a word Sonder. I'd consider that a good way to think about this.
