keep paying for trash art

[boodspuppy]

I wonder how far men's madness will go...art? Where is it?

[MBro88]

All a load of high pressure inflated aluminium to me!

[kreitzberg09]

They should not be compared on a aesthetic level but rather for the time period for which they were developed and the progression for what art as become. Also just because it is in a building known as versailles doesn't make it a master piece. Geographical context should be taken with a grain of salt. Think for yourself why do I think this is a master piece and that isn't? Because I read about it in a art history text book? Watch "The ways of seeing" By John Berger.

Such junk - the warm, pukey platitudes spoken so falsely- and the junk "art" which has no place in Versailles...

[patrimatsumoto]

un lugar tan arsitocrata como versailles esta claro que tendria que tener una estatua de el rey Michael Jackson

[steeltruck963]

How many assistances he hires?

[Pawndurr]

1:18 is that micheal jackson with a monkey on his lap???

[versafan]

@Pawndurr Yes, it is exactly that. I think there were 5 made and the last one fetched $6-mil. It looks gorgeous, and I wasn't expecting to react that way.

[noxvet]

Yes. That's MJ's pet monkey-- his name is Bubbles.

[t7g6s8]
