Interesting article about art and money


cops and robbers...the biggest art heist in history?

this guy just paints beds

Don't forget to check out the Frame by Frame exhibit at VES, on now until the 14th!

I had a discussion about contemporary 'shock art' with a few tutors the other night. I mentioned Chris Burden as he shot himself and called it art. Here is a nice article about all that.

Damien Hirst was also brought up as someone that people thought should not call themselves an artist, but as one of the most lucrative names in contemporary art I have to disagree. Folks are more than willing to look at sharks in formaldehyde, kitschy or not. His newer work can be seen here at Gagosian Gallery in NYC.

And your artist of the day is... Kehinde Wiley
