Read one time (probably on this site, as a matter of fact) about a janitor who came across a tray with a bunch of fast food garbage on it, and tossed it all out, only to find out later he had disposed of a (supposed) work of art. Even Tom Wolfe (”The Painted Word”) couldn’t come up with an episode that rich.

It would appear that the stabber was a Chinese female.

Most artists want to be on the cutting edge...

Might have been a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar.

The fact that the bystanders made that mistake should be your first clue as to the state of modern ‘art.’

While I was attending Glassel Art School our painting class was taken to a local exhibit at a gallery.

The artist (I use that term lightly) had gathered some dead tree branches stood them upright and hung rubber chickens from them.

You read that right, rubber chickens.

Because “art” has become so crude as to be able to be mistaken for all sorts of sick crap...

Saw this additional statement by the loon.

According to the arrest report, Zhao admitted to stabbing the woman in order to "clean" her.
