So it wasn't made by an autistic Moomin ?

The possibilities are not mutually exclusive.

Then you're obviously looking at it from the wrong angle.

It's an abstract work, using the imagery of a mountain scene to represent a fish and chip wrapping resembling an oil stained newspaper.

it is a reflection on the transient nature of life and our relationship with that which we believe is permanent, i.e. mountains, but is actually no less transient than fish and chips at a cosmic level.

Good Tory girl. Not one of these affluent wealthy who would wish socialism on everyone else.

Jeez I agree with DA what has the world come to

[Mich the Tester]

That is quite remarkable.

It's a demonstration that you can fool some of the people all of the time.

Especially stupid rich people.

But they aren´t stupid. By paying some huge amount of money for some strange article, they lend that article status, in a similar mechanism to a Veblen good, hence increasing it´s price when they sell it on.

I think Mich is worried about the attack of the wizards sleeve.

Even I wouldn't.

Dodgy would though.

Has anyone found a pic of this eminent piece of work?

I wish to exercise my art criticism ap.

I'm assuming its the greyish mess to the left of the artist in the linked picture. I didn't feel the beauty.

£40,000 and a chance to meet Tracey Emin.

Erm, no thanks.

[vetran]

What's the rate?
