At least those glasses are not as shitty as this one...  http://time.com/2933839/tracey-emin-my-bed-auctioned/ 

No, seriously, wallow in bed and then auction it out, brilliant idea only a modern artist would be able to think of. I'd rather buy the pickled shark than that soiled bed. Who knows how much semen from different men are on it.

True there are OK modern art, the conceptual one but really, most of what you see now are basically just like the toilet Duchamp exhibited before. Modern art is at a new low, driven mostly by speculation and vulgarity. I doubt any of this will have cultural value to archaeologist sifting through our museums centuries from now.

On second thought, at the rate culture is going to right now, maybe we haven't seen the worst yet.

Excellent.
Modern art is sometimes intense.
But most of it is the pure shit you could expect from "artists" that are here only for money...

Old News-but funny one


Teenager leaves spectacles on floor of San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art as a prank, leading some to think they were an exhibit



The feeling of slight dissatisfaction that can come with visiting a modern art gallery is a universal one, best articulated as “I could have done that”.

A pair of US teenagers have beaten artists at their own game, pulling off a successful prank at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art earlier this week.

While Kevin Nguyen, 16, and TJ Khayatan, 17, were impressed with much of the art on display on their visit on Saturday, they questioned the artistic merits of some exhibits.

Could they do better?

Khayatan put Nguyen’s glasses on the floor below an official-looking piece of paper to see how it would be received by gallery-goers.

The work seemed to hit a chord with the public, striking in its simplicity, yet – probably – a challenging commentary on the limits of individual perception
