@SirDigbyChikenCaesar@OneOfTheBoys ? There are some arty types at voat. Maybe Ask others, I fear the Art world, its like a cesspool of filth, imagine Congress the Senate, the BBC, the Roman Catholic church, the corruption of Africa, Haiti, Arabia almost all rolled into one .... its a huge scandal waiting to break @Mayhawk@Thisismyvoatusername@not_drunk
What's the question? While Koons being a pedophile involved with money laundering is something I will believe without any evidence, some would be appreciated.
I actually really like his work. His balloon animals may make him seem a bit of a one trick pony but at least it is a pretty trick - quite something to see in person. His sculptures are apparently expensive to make and he claims to make a loss on some despite the high the price tags (see article ). I would totally buy a miniature (actual balloon animal size) one for $50-100 but I can't see how $91mil works even for the giant ones.
His work is very childish which makes me sus on him and some is also subliminaly sexual like from the article Cat on a clothesline.
It is no longer entertaining, the ultimate trickster-theorist of the Modernist era was not an artist but an entertainer. Erik Weisz, known to the world as Harry Houdini, first amazed with his feats of escapology, then devoted the latter years of his career to the exposure of the fakery at work in contemporary Spiritualism. So the letter F for Fake? What exactly do we mean when we call an artist, a fraud, no talent or writer a charlatan? In modern places of California, Paris or London you see the same shit, a prize designed to encourage young British artists has failed, a project in New york another failure, maybe its shock jock stunt has not failed in marketing or media terms, where it has been a resounding success, but that has disguised its failure in more important ways: intellectually and aesthetically. They are a bunch of useful drug addicts that allow corporations, war mongers and global bankers to move their money, that's all they mostly are and their life is fucking miserable. Lily Allen's father Keith Allen https://invidio.us/watch?v=WFhnJw4hQsg A live television debate turned into a piece of performance art when artist Tracey Emin turned up drunk and disorderly after attending the Turner Prize awards dinner.
The self-styled bad girl of British art added a soundtrack of babbling and swearing as pundits ruminated on the absence of painting from the British art scene.
Roger Scruton and Waldemar Januszczak offered their views on contemporary art in the Channel 4 discussion chaired by critic Tim Marlow. Richard Cork of the Times, critic and curator David Sylvester and Norman Rosenthal, exhibitions secretary of the Royal Academy, tried to make their views heard over Emin's observations.

Emin, wearing a flowery smock and transparent black top, smoking furiously and fiddling with her microphone, had one finger in a decidedly Gothic-looking splint, which lent emphasis to her accusatory pointing round the panel.
"I am the only artist here from that show Sensation," she announced. "I want to be with my friends. I'm drunk. I want to phone my mum. She's going to be embarrassed by this conversation. I don't care. I don't give a f*** about it."
Several times during the discussion, as the camera avoided the swearing, slurring Emin, she announced she was going to leave and go back to the party with her friends. The other participants in what might otherwise have been a dry academic debate attempted to ignore Emin's interventions. Only Scruton made an elegant reference to her "state of mind".
Finally Emin, sounding as if she had a mouth full of broken china, finally declared that the group had "lost her". "I want to leave. I've got to go somewhere. I'm going to leave now. Don't you understand? I want to be free. Get this f***ing mike off." She has tamed her hellraising ways in recent years. But Tracey Emin staged a spectacular return to her old form at an awards ceremony.
The artist was left barely able to stand after making the most of the free champagne and vodka cocktails at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London
The evening ended with an undignified exit from the Royal Opera House venue as the 49-year-old was carried to a car by her friend, jewellery designer Stephen Webster. What exactly do we mean when we call an artist or writer a charlatan? An artist friend worries about Andy Warhol: ‘I can never decide if he’s the greatest artist of the 20th century or a complete charlatan.’
