“There is nothing special about David Cerny’s art, other than that he is more visible than other artists and talented at marketing. But artists like Cerny who are in headlines today will be forgotten tomorrow. His work is destined for the amusement park and won’t stand the test of time."
-- Milan Knizak, the director of Prague’s National Gallery, as quoted in the New York Times
Funny, that's how I feel about MOST 21st century art. Beyond the 3-second "wow" that some of it induces...it's all just marketing.
Somehow, though I feel much differently about most modern architecture. Even when I don't like it visually, it serves a purpose and I can relate to that.
I have been to many art exhibitions in India, and I have yet to see something that seems worthy of attention.
