Who buys a pickle for $10,000? Peak creativity (not to mention stupidity) in the art world

by time news

This week a new record was reached in the level of creativity (not to mention stupidity) in the art world: a prestigious gallery for displaying paintings and works of art made headlines after it presented for sale a work by the New Zealand artist Matthew Griffin, worth $10,000 – but what stands behind it is cheapness, at least that’s what he now claims Those who visited the gallery and saw the artist’s works.

You’ll probably find it hard to believe this, but when gallery owner Ryan Moore was asked why he exhibited Griffin’s work in the first place, he replied that the pickle thrown from McDonald’s directly onto the ceiling of the gallery, “was intended to re-flood the question of what we consider ‘value’, why there is value Real,” says Baal Mor.

As hard as it may be to believe, there are also those who are enthusiastic about the work, and see it as ‘genius and brilliant’. And on the other hand, there are also those who express disgust and disdain. One of the funniest comments we’ve come across online is from a surfer who couldn’t help himself and wrote like this: “When I did this when I was a teenager, the police kicked me out of McDonald’s – and now it’s art?”.

“Artists are not the ones who decide whether something is art or not, they are the ones who create and bring the talent out of themselves. What determines whether something is valuable and meaningful as a work of art is the way we as a society choose to see it and talk about it,” Moore told The Guardian. the British. “Some of us see a pickle stuck to the ceiling with sticky sauce around it – a disgusting and repulsive thing, but some see it as a funny thing. How did it get there is the question we should ask, and why would someone take it out of the hamburger and stick it to the ceiling. It’s funny and that’s what makes this work for everyone So good,” he concludes.
