Modern art is crap?
 
Apparently I think so, based on how far off my valuations were...

Maybe I should encourage the kids to daub more and pass it off as my own work.


Oh well, I guess I am too much of an engineer eh:) I just dont seem to get it.

Such as the multi coloured much revered and horrendously pricey work of Piccaso are in my humble opinion...crap. Art and it's worth I feel are in the eyes of the beholder?

One looks at the 'arty fartsy' classes raving over some of the 'Turner' exhibits over the years has convinced me that I too 'don't get it'.....:cool:...and very grateful that I don't....

I also don't seem to get it, there were 2 only that I would (if I had the dosh) buy and hang myself.
