It's a SPIN painting - ie completely accidental, so what does it matter who did it?

It matters for the guy who paid over twenty five grand for a six years old kid's accident.
Edited PS. Not that I have any sympathy.

The bollocks that's talked about art is usually much more bollocky than the art itself. If it's good - if it works - it doesn't need some pretentious twat talking bollocks over it.

Abstract art is the bane of my life. It should have died in the twentieth century.

Good abstract art can touch the soul as much as any good artform. Perhaps you've only seen crapart?

I reckon the biggest load of bollocks is hearing artists speak about other artists, like they understand something we lesser mortals don’t. It’s particularly amusing when the one being eulogised freely admits, afterwards, that the work on offer is total crap.
As for the prats who buy this stuff, they are just sad, rich people thinking they are being clever. Emperor’s new clothes, or what?

You can read my slaughtering of modern art and the Young British Artists in particular with a book review I posted to Booksquawk

I just read it, Marc. Your review seems to have summed up my thoughts concerning the hype surrounding this form of… I don’t know what it is to be honest. I just look and like, or dislike, without having to read a title explaining why I should like when I don’t. If I saw a pile of sand in an art gallery I’d assume building work was in progress and keep an eye out for the cement mixer. Then again, I’m just a kid standing in the crowd.
