Can anyone explain to me why this so-called "painting" merits being hung in an art gallery and is regarded as worthwhile for the public to look at? If we disregard the vandalism, which actually adds a bit of interest to it, it looks like someone has taken a couple of minutes with a couple of paint rollers and randomly covered the canvas with a red paint, then started to add a second coat of a different colour and didn't finish the job. Seriously, is this art? The late Fyfe Robertson produced a very interesting documentary in the 1970s in his inimitable way, in which he coined a new word for what he called "phoney art", which he then abbreviated to "phart". This is an example of "phart"!
It seems that this particular artist can sell this stuff for tens of millions of pounds. Really?! This looks like it has been done by a two year old!
Unbelievable.
