A few days
ago, I arranged to meet a friend at Sotheby’s, where they seemed to have a
preview for a coming contemporary art auction.
Two items in the hall, in which I was waiting, caught my attention:
The first
item was indeed included in the auction at £150,000 - £200,000, whilst the
second item… was taken away by the cleaner, just as I took the photo.
Not only,
because I do not have a five year old son, I don’t normally go for the “my five
year old son could have painted that”, when I see some high-priced squiggle by
an artist who happens to be in. However, these obsolete plane noses, could just
as well have been donated by the aircraft manufacturer to a children’s’
playground. Instead, they are now ART.
And just in case we don't appreciate it, we are informed that "this work is unique":
