True art has a truly elevated purpose, which is beyond the reach of commoners and peasants. It is to add to the asset class of the super-rich. I bid $3m for the ‘vertical red BS’ on the far left.
Sorry, it isn’t abstract. I would categorize it as Pop Art. (There is a level on which all art – including dance, music, photography, etc. is an abstraction… Most of my students didn’t understand that. Most of them didn’t know what the word abstract means.)
“If you nail together two things that have never been nailed together before, some shmuck will buy it from you.” The late George Carlin.
“The only reason every American family does not own an elephant is only because one has never been offered at a dollar down and a dollar a day.” Alfred E. Newman.
Heard somebody talking about a ‘invisible art’ piece that sold for thousands. Wondered how buyer knew when he/she managed to get it home. Who hauled it? How did they package it? Strange world.
BS (Biden’s Son ) painting going for $ 500k…Personally, I like my Elvis & Matador on black velvet that glows under a black light for $ 20 at a truck stop…

I’ve often wondered if Matt Groening gave Bart Simpson that name just so he would have those initials.

If you can fling paint at a canvas, and convince someone, that you’re a genius … maybe you are.

We all got pretty sick of “confrontational” art. “In your face” art is one thing ; “slap in the face” art is quite another.

So the artist’s full disclosure is that, at the time, he was suffering from diabetes and having trouble controlling his BS?
