Funny, but kinda sad at the same time.

This is what art has become...

I didn't read the article for fear of taking a look at a banana taped to a wall a second time, but in the article I read, my favorite part was "The banana was meant to be eaten - showing it can easily be replaced."

120000$ for a banana on a wall. No wonder the world is going to hell.
Now, If anyone want to buy my piece of art for only 50000$ let me know. Its an apple nailed to the ceiling. You can even buy two of them for 75000$ at a discount
I have seen dumber art than that in NYC museums.
I'll add that much of art is akin to autograph collecting. If some work attracts
attention in the right crowd....one both vaunted & wealthy....then it occupies
a moment in their shared history. To own that unique icon confers value,
rarity, recognition, status, & acceptance upon the owner. Think of it as
the price of admission to a club.
The interested reader might look up the brilliant work of Dan Flavin, a darling
of the New York art world for mounting a fluorescent light to a wall at a 45
degree angle. Critics were agog at his originality & significance to modern art.
(Yes, I saw it exhibited. I was indeed astounded....but perhaps not as the
artist intended.)

It's a bunch of untalented people giving each other awards for their nontalent.
Rock art and cave art actually were artistic. Modern art is an oxymoron.
