No wonder most nomal people take no notice of the art world when rubbish like this is considered art

BBC News - Gallery searches for stolen brick

As far as I can tell the 'special' brick in question has the artist's signature on it other than that it's just a normal brick.

So I am starting an Ebay auction soon for concrete commons signed by me ... bidding to start at £3000.

Why aren't people who think a brick is art locked up for the weirdos that they are?

A brick? Oh dear. No doubt some moron would pay some stupid amount for it.

Perhaps I can just take a crap on a paper plate, make up some story about how it represents all that is wrong with the world today and call it art, then have someone pay £100k for it.

sounds like a plan!

May be the cleaners threw it away thinking it was rubbish. Its not the first time the cleaners have done the right thing for this so call art....

Was it what hit Berlusconi square in his smug face?

Felix.

Is there anyone in here that can give any reasonable explanation as to why that is art....?

And, if the theif had coppied his signature on the replacement brick, would the theft have been noticed...?

And, if I buy a brick from B&Q, copy the signature and hand it in, am I in line for a reward..?

The art world has been taking the **** for years now. Largely through the offices of all those "Luvvies" who cast about and swoon over such rubbish in order to impress everyone and to con idiots out of large sums of cash!

I suppose a signed brick is at least a bit more palatable than a soiled bed in a smelly tent but its about time someone in an influential positon started to state a few remarks such as those about the "King's new clothes" etc. in order to burst the whole ridiculous bubble!
