Visionary art. ;)
They are so blind (by their self-reflected “brilliance” repeated so often for so long inside the “artistic” communities) that they cannot see.
After talking about a few of the pieces in the room, on a lark I walked over to the corner and began to describe the humidigraph as a lat 20th century version of Dada-esque art, how it represented the constant measuring and graphing of people in contemporary society and how one loses one's basic humanity in the process. I would have gotten away with it too, if the museum guard behind the group hadn't started laughing his head off at the explanation.
Wait til they see the restroom deposit-art
I’ve been to the MOMA quite a few times and this does not surprise me.
The CIA funded modern art to bug the uptight commies in the cold war.

Not unusual, most people in San Francisco are mistaken for Americans, ...
they are not.
For good laugh go to any university and check out the seniors’ art projects. 4 years of school college and the results are little better than you see in any grammar school. Tens of thousands spent and the “artists” know nothing of perspective and haven’t even learned the basics of how to mix paint or the proper techniques to use a paint brush. Every year millions of art majors graduate and none can paint a sailboat or dance or write a play. But they know when Van Gogh was born. LOL!
There was a James Garner movie from the 1960’s called “The Wheeler Dealers”, there is a scene where Garner’s character, a Texas Oil Tycoon, goes to this art opening in New York and gets caught up in the Art World. I recommend this just for the phony art scam and how subjective art is, as explained by actor Louie Nye’s character. He does a hilarious takeoff on Jackson Pollack art also.
