"I’m thinking maybe she doesn’t understand art."

Exactly!! I could care less how she spends her money. She won't be the first spoiled rich brat who blows money. What bothers me about this article is that this is supposed to be art. Are we as a society willing to accept any act/expression whatever as an expression of art? Whether it's a cross in a jar of urine or some naked chick throwing feces on herself. Can't we as a society just say no, you are an idiot. That is not art. Have we degenerated so far that we can't do that? I doubt that Rembrandt or Da Vinci would call burning an expensive purse art. It demeans true artists.

In Rembrandt’s or Da Vinci’s time art was in the creation of a work, now in our post modern era it is in the destruction of a work. Nihilism in action.
