You must be very wealthy!

Everywhere you look there’s a Masterpiece!........

Modern Art can be a booger with a hair in it!

Did anyone actually pay $1.1 Million for this "art".

If so, was it a government agency?

[Red Badger]

Just add a grille and some steaks and we can have a BBQ!.............

Something like this merits a US work visa for anyone needing a hardworking results oriented maid.

She should be certain to secure a before picture of the “artwork” and include with the after picture for her resume’ and current job search.

But it can’t be a half flushed Koran.

[Red Badger]

No, it was a private collector.
Fools and their money........

“Oh Geez, not this stuff again”. ;-)

[Hunton Peck]

...the company that employed the cleaning staff had instructed them to stay at least 20 centimeters (8 inches) away from the artwork....

How was she supposed to tell?

Globull Warming would have ruined it in a few years anyway.

This is what happens when crap is labeled "art." This whole "modern art" sculpture scam has reached absurd proportions and, at least for this piece of drek, has reaped proper reward.

You want to know real art, ask an uneducated working class person--ask a cleaning lady.

The idiot elites of the so-called "art world's" heads must be exploding. LOL!

If it was painted on to look like patina, then it wasn’t patina by definition...just paint.

If the Germans can afford to pay 1.1 mil for 50 bucks worth of junk then they can afford to bail out the Greeks.

Ping.

Wheres the lil bamboo shoot that belongs in the pan?

Note to self: Change names of latest artworks to something different from “Pile of Crap in the Corner” and “Stuff I’ve Been Meaning to Throw Out For Years”.

Have any of you seen that POS blue horse with its glowing red eyes at the entrance to the Denver International Airport?

[Gagging sounds]

[snowstorm12]

the cleaning woman cleaned inside the bucket? how could she be that stupid to touch any of the art?

[Caipirabob]

If the common man can’t tell the difference between your “art” and garbage, it’s garbage.
