                I read this article this morning, I didn’t peel very well after reading it.

                    There are so many things wrong with this: The banana is at the wrong angle, the duck tape is too bright, nobody seems to have considered the underpainting on the wall (v. important), the colour of the banana is way off, the dark spots on the banana are badly distributed, the light and shade are disastrous, I could go on and on…

                        The argument is often that the “uneducated” and those lacking artistic sensitivity fail to get the joke, but the painter, Steven Assael suggested: “A joke told over again just isn’t funny anymore… we have heard this joke (Duchamp) over a hundred years ago.”

                            I think it was to prove the point that some rich fool will pay any amount for anything. It has already been proved in the past. Love that the artist ate it. :D

                                    Well, it got attention.

                                        Which was the whole point of the exercise.

                                            Visiting my local supermarket negates the travel costs to see the exhibition and they have bunches of art there.

                                                But don’t you have to supply your own duct tape to truly appreciate the art? :lol:

                                                    Well it does have some kind of appeal…

                                                        Is it a peel appeal?

                                                            There’s no accounting for taste…. um, I mean stupidity.

                                                            Being born places you at a greater risk of dying later in life.
