An ordinary guy (not an artist) who signs as ‘G’, worried because art it’s since many decades ago a big fraud, has decided to put an end to Modern Art by creating the Ultimate Art Fraud: a Post-it that he is selling in eBay for a million dollars (or more!). tags The million dollar Post-itG thinks that Modern Art is nowadays like a comatose patient kept alive artificially by a bunch of speculators and thefts (“artists”, critics, art dealers, gallery owners...) that want to keep living off it without any effort, repeating the same ideas (supposedly avant-gardist) over and over. G wants to euthanize Modern Art. Inspired by Cervantes (who put an end to the ridiculous knight-errant books of his time by writing a knight-errant book even more ridiculous, crazy and absurd), he wants to put an end to Modern Art frauds making an even bigger fraud! In his web page (www.theendofmodernart.com) he explains how the sale of his work “The End Of “Modern Art”” for a million dollars will put an end to Modern Art or, at least, generate a very necessary debate that will help to stop art frauds. “The End Of “Modern Art”” is for sale on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170108024366), to avoid gallery owners and art dealers, who are not interested in killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. If G’s plans are successful, Modern Art will die just to make way to a Timeless Art, inspiring, enriching and, above all, original. picked by tribulete 2 years ago |

Not to run it. Not to make a very healthy profit for the town. No, they purchased it so that they can shut it down. Yes the money could have gone to help the needy of the town, perhaps to fix a pothole, hire some more police, fire, etc, but at least they were able to stop people from seeing breasts. picked by bernardblack 5 months ago 5 comments edit related share plime.com |

In a matter of a few hours after receiving the check, she spent almost $300,000. She ended up getting a very light sentence and cried that she didn't do anything wrong and whined that her dreams are now shattered. picked by bernardblack 3 months ago 17 comments edit related share plime.com |

Well at least according to Col. Gadaffi of Libya. Christians didn't start world-wide riots or anything. Instead they spoke of a need to pray for him. They also had a good laugh at his reasoning, his "proof" that the Bible was a fraud. Read article to see what it was. picked by 2manyusernames 10 months ago 8 comments edit related share plime.com |

"It's a concept. It's one of a kind," said Cave, 47, a real estate agent. "It's more like a piece of art than it is a real estate property. That's why eBay sounded so good to us.
