Let's Face It: Contemporary Art Is A Joke

Hey, feel free to pay millions of dollars for things that take zero talent to make.

Art has always been appraised for its quality and talent. What's happening now? Why are folding chairs being sold for the same price as a Michelangelo's works?

Well, in part because the art world is not about art anymore. It's about status - who can buy the most popular artwork. It's a joke.

To determine whether a certain work is, in fact, a work of art, ask yourself when examining it: "Can a 3-year-old create something similar?"
