THE BIRTH OF JUNK ART
Since the introduction of impressionist painting in 1874, which opened the door to an art world unregulated by any standard, and which worked for a time, but it was bound to get out control and now we have a market that thrives on condemnation and not praise.
Ever since the renaissance period, and before, the art market has always been a melting pot of different art schools. The gold was separated from the dross, which was discarded. This had always been the case up to the foundation of the Turner Prize where the gold is now discarded and the dross glorified, how else can you explain the structure of The Orbit Tower Eyesore alongside the Ikea stadium and the predominance of two, so called artists, whose name will not be mentioned, but I'm sure you know who I'm I'm talking about.
If I tell you one has an exhibition of really bad figure sketches and silly shapes, she calls sculptures, you'll have a more accurate idea of to whom I refer. It is now an established fact that such junk artists survive on condemnation, which means her exhibition of junk art is bound to experience a degree of success.
