I mean it captures the antiestablishment spirit that’s in a lot of it, but this artist essentially commited fraud, so not the fairest light to shine on the rest of them.
I find all these kinds of modern art things incredibly pretentious and see absolutely no value in them so him being cheeky and taking the piss is exactly what they deserve.
Yeeees, quite truly sooo. Tis valueless, unsophisticated, drivel. Feigning airs of such pretension. Huhuhuhaaaa. Much like that hippy hop and the rock N roll bally hoo.
I took your last comment as a dismissal of an entire art movement for being pretentious, ironically sounds pretty pretentious, so I made a goof of it.
Knowing you’re railing against art dealers and collectors in general, I get your point and share the sentiment to an extent. Personally, I think placing high value on arts preserves them longer than they could be otherwise. The global museum tours make them more accessible and raise funds for art programs while doing so. Sure there’s a lot of bad actors in any field but I don’t think the art trade is necessarily a net negative for society.

I know, I took it to be a perfect representation of this part of the artworld.

I’d say he’s the only one to do it honestly.
How so?

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do but in case you’re curious, I also don’t see the immense monetary value in “traditional” art.
