This piece was displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago: 
I don't know if that is the artist or a bemused tourist.


A 1953 VW Beetle was transformed into A Sphere:
It makes me sad that a beautiful vintage Beetle was sacrificed
for art. Why couldn't the artist have used a Yugo?



 Sun Shines In The Rusty Morning by Anya Gallaccio:
That's right - it's a pile of bricks.


What is the piece below saying?
I'd rather regurgitate worms than view art?!


Pietro Ruffo's The Chinese Empire:
 (It's a pile of empty boxes that once
held merchandise from China.)


 What appears to be a leather jacket is 
actually one piece of carved wood: 
(Including the hanger and the wallet sticking out of the pocket!)


When I first viewed the next two paintings,
I thought, "I could do that!"




Pablo Picasso's First Communion, 1896:
 Beautiful.

Pablo Picasso's Olga, 1923:
Stunning. 

Pablo Picasso's A Dream, 1932:
What the heck happened to him?!


(No kidding.)

Paint-By-Numbers art from the 1960's has become
highly collectible.  Who'd have thought?


Decorators and designers are encouraging their clients
to 'mix it up' when it comes to displaying art:


Yes, it certainly is.
