I was at a commercial art fair in London recently where one of the works on display was simply a framed photo of/through a lace curtain. Not a particularly startling effect and upon closer inspection crappy jpeg artefaction was evident with loose pink and green pixels jostling for their own inappropriate attention.
The thing was going for £1400, or thereabouts, if I remember correctly.
Despite my initial gut reaction and subsequent hours of bemoaning and criticism I came to realise that I should indeed consider this piece as art, for nothing else recently had made me so angry and quick rise to discuss the qualitative differences between competent producers of work and shyster motherfuckers who are patently taking rich idiots for a ride.
