WTF ?
Duct-taped banana artwork sells for $6.2m in NYC
Maurizio Cattelan's provocative artwork of a banana duct-taped to a wall has fetched $6.2m (£4.9m) at Sotheby's in New York - four times higher than pre-sale estimates.
@corlin I'm hard pressed to classify any part of that "provocative", but what do I know about art?
@MakerWerks @corlin More than the person who bought it.
"Fine art" actually has absolutely nothing to do with art, and everything to do with tax evasion + money laundering.

Tax evasion and money laundering?
I've been looking at art all wrong my whole life. I thought it was to share an idea, evoke a feeling, tell a story, share a scene, etc.
Silly me.
@GeezerWench @MakerWerks @corlin Oh, real *art* is still about those things.
Just that "fine art" has nothing to do with art.
