This is exactly why modern art is complete trash.

Pollocks Number 12.

Link.

Some lameass paid $11.65 million for this painting. Anyone else interested in something like this? For only 100K I too can drip paint on canvas.

I always wondered what something would be worth if the artist just signed his name on a blank canvas.

I've also wondered if I could just crap in a box and put it on display.

Hell if they have a cricifix on display in a vat of piss, or a bottle filled full of the artist's blood, they should take my Poop in a box 05.

i could recreate that painting with the help of 3 bean burritos and a spicy chicken burrito from taco bell.

I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art almost a year ago. In the modern art section they had a piece of canvas that was simply painted brown. No joke.

That exactly why I hate modern art. I've always wanted to open up my own exhibit and get all of the snobby art ninnies to come, and have the entire gallery be blank. Nothing in any of the rooms. Just white walls and floors.
 

Apparently that piece of trash is worth 11.65 million. If only you and I made pieces of trash worth that.

My art professor had the whole class come to the front and each of us flicked some paint onto a big piece of paper. In the end it looked like a Pollock.. pretty funny. I've seen videos of this guy painting and all he does is walk around and throw paint on the canvas

She also said his popularity, and the popularity of a lot of artists, depends on who you know. Pollock had connections to a big art critic and thats how he got his start

that would be pretty cool, if you setup a whole gallery and just have EVERYTHING white.
your whole building will become the art piece.
