Default 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'........and very grateful that I don't....
