Yawn...this chic who thinks she is so original is 100 years behind the times. Duchamp did a similar stunt of playing a naked women chess.

An “artists”?
How does one sit “named” on a toilet?

The editor needs to go back to school and learn English.

Yeeesh. Look at the picture. I think she was more likely “calling b******t” on the state of modern horror movies.

Someone needs to get a bumper sticker “NEW YORK” and put on the toilet.

The 59-year-old claims 'ego and pretense' has 'seriously f****d' with the quality of work being produced in the art world'.

And then she goes out and proves it with this exhibition.

Went to the Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth. Among the exhibitions, it had one room dedicated to about 40 images shot at one time of a sunset. BFD. Camera sat there and shot the same image, printed, no frame. Another was two 3’x3’ plywood boards nailed together with a 2x4 coming off to brace it. They called that art.

I just embarrassed the wife by just breaking up laughing at what they were exhibiting.

She stole that idea from an episode of Sex and the City.

"Artist" calls 'bullsh_t' on pretentious art world by staging pretentious "art" act.

Put your clothes on, flush the toilet, and get the hell out of my gallery, skank.

Isn’t sitting naked on a toilet as an “artistic expression” the very definition of pretension?

Art lost its meaning over a century ago. Since then it has been a running competition for most silly and profane.

Yawn. AS my art teacher said years when criticizing my statue, “It’s already been done.”

Hers is just a live variation of THE THINKER, by RODIN.
