He “produced” 90 of these cans, and labeled with stickers in different languages, stating:

Where is the art in this shit? We surely know where the shit is, but is this really art? In my opinion, the fact that a lot of people from high society and intellectual critic, since 1961, declare themselves disgusted by this work, and keep to argue how bad and degrading this is, is enough to be considered an artistic work.
Wikipedia states “A tin was sold for €124,000 at Sotheby's on May 23 2007; in October 2008 tin 083 was offered for sale at Sotheby's with an estimate of £50-70,000. It sold for £97,250”. People is paying that much for a can of shit? Maybe shit is not art, but having the ability to sell is surely an artistic skill. 
Amazing!

ReplyDeleteSadly, that's what things have become in this day of age, but that is rather ridiculous for such a small item, that's truly not worth more than a few dollars, if that...
ReplyDeleteFound my new career. it's amazing what can pass for "art"
ReplyDeleteWhat jim said :p, modern "art" isn't really art, it is its the sense of the word. But if anyone can do it, how can it be worth that much money. I guess its because he did it first!
ReplyDeleteAs long as you can explain it, it is art.
ReplyDeleteWhich is one of the reasons I got out of the art world.
LOL in art class my teacher talked about this piece. It blows my mind to see there's people out that would pay big money for some old feces in a can
ReplyDeletewow thats art...i think I might do the same thing then...say I only ever ate water and fruits for a month and pooped in a can...sell it for thousands!!
ReplyDeleteIf people will buy it, sell it! Rofl
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this before. So these were labelled with other languages? I wonder what the translations were. Did they know they were buying shit in a can, or did that have a poor translation to something else?
ReplyDeleteEither way, I wouldn't buy that shit.

It is art because it was a gesture that questioned the value of an artist's "production" during a time when the value of art as a commodity was skyrocketing, but the value of human lives was on the downturn (the Vietnam War).
