Duchamp was super kool!
Recently heard about an artist who designed a restaurant & made no money
serving burgers so auctioned off the designer appliances & made more
money at the auction than ever made as a restaurant.
Asked by a journalist in an interview why he thought his work was art,
his response, "Because it is sold in an art galllery" or somesuch.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are gearing up for a gated production in
Central Park, NYC.
Stay tuned...
I would like to meet them... any connections?
