Well, they are artists, what do you want from them when they come to value stupid painted black square at millions of dollars?

Surely then, the best, and most valuable work of art, would simply be an empty space?

Now you're getting the hang of it!

Does anyone here like modern art such as the shark in a tank, or a dead sheep in a tank, or Tracy Emin's unmade bed? That conceptual stuff is ugly and bollux IMO.

I get great pleasure from the Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin works I display in my sitting room. Sadly I have too many to display them all at once.

Threaded.

The same thing happened in one of the short stories in Jeffrey Archer's "A Quiver Full of Arrows". I'm ashamed I know that,

I'm disgusted that someone on this forum knows that.
