The proud owner had the art placed in his home, and went out to celebrate. When he came home, he found that the maid had fixed up the area.

Apparently, the sale of ‘this’ gives unquestioned credence to the belief that money does not necessarily translate into sense.

There is something else going on here. No one in their right mind would pay over $4 million for that. No intelligent person would even consider it a work of art.
My guess is some kind of fraud or some other other dishonest activity.
Or maybe she just has really rich relatives.

Well, it might be kinda of cool if Tracey just stays with the bed, snarling at anyone who approaches, as she is in the picture.

You may have to pose with it and have a scowl on your face.

You’re not missing a thing. The people who pay a million bucks for dirty sheets in order to consider themselves sophisticated... they’re the ones missing things. Namely brain cells.

I know how stuff like the filthy bed being called art happens , I have seen it for myself.
I went to Glassel Art School in Houston a few years ago. Someone got the bright idea to take their grandfathers old messy garage, paint everything in it bright red and re assemble it at Glassel.
There were a few other things like that that were touted as “art”.
I think that is when I decided it was time for me to move on and just paint the way I wanted to and I am still doing it.

I’ve got one of those for sale sans cigarette butts but with a Chuhuahua under the sheets. I’ll take $100,000 including the Chuhuahua. :-)
