When is art, not art?
When it becomes a status symbol.
Modern art isn't art - it's about what people are willing to 'pay' for it, to show how rich they are. It's not about the skill/ creativity of the artist but the wealth of the person buying it.
To me Tracey Emin's unmade bed or Damien Hirst's sheep in a tank of formaldehyde, isn't art but the equivalent of hit and run graffiti artists (Not the ones that take their time to create something like Banksy but those who are doing the equivalent of an animal urinating against a wall to say 'I've been here').
Is there anybody out there that would like to defend this 'Emperor's New Clothes' con, supposedly called 'art'?
