gridloreYou Call That Art?
People got very excited about Christo's latest public art work, "The Gates," in New York's Central Park. For two week's 7,500 metal gates draped with orange fabric were staked along 23 miles of the park's footpaths. Some people called "The Gates" a masterpiece. Others called it an ugly nuisance.
The best part of the article is where they took reproductions of masterpieces, and placed them alongside "non-art".. framed bits of fabric they got from a discount store, paintings by elephants and four year olds, and had people, both art critics and the general public judge them. The results? The art world is full of crap.
