    A lot of modern art is rubbish, but the best of it gets you thinking 'outside the box' whatever you think of it it does generate discussion and provokes immagination. Some think Art is just photorealism, the closer to reality the better, I say if you want to reproduce reality buy a camera. I want to see an artist add their own twist to the subject matter, not copy it
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      I'm sure it was.

      I'm not a big fan of modern art (Tracey Emin's bed, bronotosaurus etc. don't class as art to me), but there are some works that I appreciate.

      A crack in the floor is not art. If it were, I'd be selling my cellar for a fortune.

        You've fallen into (haha) the trap of assuming all worthwhile art will have a monetary value.
