Today, subversion is a brand appropriated by the elites, so one has to learn to be subversive in the way that is most marketable and approved by elite galleries and media. <br /><br />And I guess Emin had the right kind of 'ugly'. Narcissism of the ugly. More equal that way. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-71552193146231198022014-06-03T10:58:08.375-07:002014-06-03T10:58:08.375-07:00It's not about what she did.

It was the celebrated, much discussed work of "art" when I lived in England. It is all such a scam. Art critics hyping the avant garde, investors and gallery owners making a mint, artists flaunting their superior, "epater les bourgeois" mindset, and a bemused public and press looking on. Remember the hyping of Basquiat in the early 1990s. Is there anything less "avant garde" than the "avant garde" nowadays?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
