What an Ego

Well, he certainly had a huge ego if nothing else.Picasso was a real artist.
I dont needfully like or agree with his work but he had genuine talent.
I like the shark one.Anyone fancy these two masterpieces from Damien Hirst? They are at my local auction house with a price guide of £1500-£2000 each.View attachment 30607View attachment 30606
As you'll know, people used to spot Picasso in a restaurant or cafe and ask him to doodle them something on a napkin. They knew he'd done it before, when he'd draw little portraits for the waiting staff. Wouldn't it be great to have one of those done!Not much different from Picasso's signed doodles.
I’ll do you one if you like it.I like the shark one.
I can do my own!I’ll do you one if you like it.
I believe he also used to do doodles on the cheques he paid for meals with knowing that they would keep the doodle and not cash the cheque!As you'll know, people used to spot Picasso in a restaurant or cafe and ask him to doodle them something on a napkin.

Organiser Trevor Prideaux, of The New Inn in Wedmore, said 120 people had entered the competition, crossing the 100 mark for the second successive year.
"This year we have received a record number of entries. We have ordered a second skip," he said.
The handmade sculpture, entitled Diva, was unveiled by visual artist Juliana Notari on Saturday at a rural art park on the grounds of a former sugar mill in Pernambuco, one of Brazil’s most culturally vibrant states.
In a Facebook post, Notari said the scarlet hillside vulva was intended to “question the relationship between nature and culture in our phallocentric and anthropocentric western society” and provoke debate over the “problematisation of gender”.

Salvatore Garau has sold his latest invisible sculpture. The work, titled "I Am," doesn't exist except in the artist's imagination. The buyer gets a stamped certificate in exchange for $18,000.
https://www.newsweek.com/italian-artist-sells-invisible-sculpture-more-18000-1596608... According to as.com, the sculpture's initial price was set between 6,000 and 9,000 euros; however, the price was raised after several bids were placed.
Titled 'Io Sono' (Italian for "I am"), the 67-year-old artist's sculpture is "immaterial," meaning that the sculpture does not actually exist.
Though he's received much critique for the sale, Garau argues that his work of art isn't "nothing," but is instead a "vacuum."
One born every minute, a fool and his money are soon parted (add your own proverb for stupid people here)What's even less fungible than a non-fungible token? Somebody paid $18,000 for a sculpture that existed only in the artist's imagination.

When I joined my old company, the contract stipulated they would own any artwork produced while I was there. So they own two of my conceptual art pieces - ‘Rat Trap’ which is a man in a uniform just chucking rats onto a trap and ‘Shitbucket’ which is a galvanised pail so full of shit a fly landing on the meniscus would cause a little drop to spill over and run down the side.What's even less fungible than a non-fungible token?

There was an 'artist' over two decades ago who decided to 'create' a very very large glass tank to contained human sperm .. I'm honestly not making this up .. about 20 cubic metres from memory .. he asked for random blokes to send in their sperm for his project. I'm not sure how his experiment ended or if it did at all but it was all very weird and probably perverted. I'd prefer not to know about the outcome and his reasons to be honest.Invisible sculpture sells for $18,000

Tracy Emmin's going to get jealous .. she used to corner the market on pretentious none art.Here's some quality spiel from the artist which rates highly on the guffometer:
“The successful outcome of the auction testifies to an irrefutable fact: the void is nothing but a space full of energy, and even if we empty it and nothing remains, according to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that nothingness has a weight,” Salvatore Garau said. “It therefore has energy that condenses and transforms itself into particles, in short, in us! When I decide to ‘exhibit’ an immaterial sculpture in a given space, that space will concentrate a certain quantity and density of thoughts in a precise point, creating a sculpture that from my title alone will take the most varied forms. After all, don’t we give shape to a God we have never seen?”
I'm wondering if it's all a load of bollocks, no-one has actually bought anything, but he's got his name in the papers. All of a sudden he's collectable. He got a mate to 'buy' it but no money changes hands..
On the other hand maybe some twat's bought it.
I'd prefer not to know the outcome
Sort of 'wank in the tank'. Nowadays you could film all the participants contributing & sell the movie as a NFT for a considerable sum.There was an 'artist' over two decades ago who decided to 'create' a very very large glass tank to contained human sperm ..
