Art as a joke at the expense of art-buyers? I never thought of that angle, but it does make sense.

- vlehto 11y agoOn many levels too. Imagine you have just gotten some utter crap into a gallery. You are silently laughing at your own joke. And telling everybody that "each person finds different aspect of it.. so I don't want to ruin that with my analysis". Or some other snobbish shit. Then some dude comes to you "I like it. Would 500k$ be enough?". What do you respond? "Aww man, it's just a joke. That's too much." vs. "Sold!"? And the joke lives on.
