I think Warhol would be amused.

Oops we accidentally destroyed them. We definitely didn’t sell any.

Being half Dutch, I’ve always thought his work was $hit too.

When you confuse trash with artwork it might say the trash was pretty nice or the artwork was trash...................

Usually, we see the trash in the museums as art.

No loss of any significance to the art world.

Some years ago my rather small town had to announce that the local government was missing $2M. They told us (about a million times) that it DEFINITELY had not been embezzled by anyone. DEFINITELY not stolen. It was an accounting mistake. The $2M went *POOF*, but -- in case you were wondering -- it was DEFINITELY not embezzled by anyone. No sirree.

Or, if I wanted to steal some valuable artwork, I might “claim” it accidentally went out into the trash. Or, my dog ate it. Or..

Sometimes normal people can't separate art from stuff your parents left behind when you are cleaning out their house for the last time.

Next time send people of culture to clean out the back room.

Anyone remember Art Buchwald? He wrote a column where he went to an art show and sat down a bag of groceries he was carrying. When he came back to the groceries, the groceries had just won first prize. What clinched it was a can of Campbell’s soup laying on its side.

So he came back a week later with a bag of gourmet groceries and the critics panned it as pretentious.

Poor guy couldn’t win.

Warhole ran an art factory... reproducing his concepts. Overpriced for sure.

The art isn’t what’s on the canvas. The art is in getting someone to buy it.

It was trash, so they treated it as trash.

A stroll down the hall of an elementary school sure reminds me of Picasso.
