"Art?"

lmao, was fucking around on Amazon.com looking at old concert posters and came across this. For the low low price of $150 it can be yours! Perfect for your formal dining room!

Wtf?

Yes, that is a dead cow. Yes, it is riddled with arrows. Yes, it is suspended in formaldehyde. Yes, it is considered art.

[diablo rojo]

It never ceases to amaze me what is considered art.

Not sure the heck that other picture is, but this is from the link.




They want $150 for a picture. Of this.

My post was the reply to your question. Most "art" these days is conceptual. What you or I might agree is/isn't art is going to differ wildly with what someone else says. In the simplest sense....yes, a photo of a public toilet IS art because somebody will put it on a wall and display it as such.

If the walls were clean/a solid color, I'd pay $200.

The art world is interesting to say the least, a lot of rich people love wasting money.

Then again, it amazes me to see someone pay $XXMM for a car. I get that it's rare, but tens of millions for a car?
