They could always get some Occupiers to stop by and take a dump in the bucket.

Overzealous art aficionado pays a million dollars for crap I would have given him out of my garage for $50.

The work is interacting with its environment and has a new, updated patina.

I saw something similar at a yard sale.

Martin Kippenberger's "When it Starts Dripping from the Ceiling" remains in place at the city's Ostwall museum...

Now it's called "When it Stopped Dripping from the Ceiling".

No loss.
It only had value in the mind of the “artist” and morons in in the gallery that purchased it.

"Martin Kippenberger's 'When it Starts Dripping from the Ceiling' remains in place at the city's Ostwall museum"..."It has not yet been decided whether the patina would be restored, or if the artwork would be left in its newly "cleaned" condition."

Leave it as it is and rename it "Ceiling Don't Leak No More."

It looks like a piece from “The Woodstove Collection”

A pile of kindling and rather nice ash pan.

And the best part is that neither the critics nor ordinary viewers will be able to tell the difference!

My rule of thumb has always been; If I can make it, then it isn’t art.

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?

...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?

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!
