That’s it. What if it’s someone’s calling to make white paintings. I get YOU might hate them but if someone is genuinely listening to a calling within themselves to do such a thing, it must serve a purpose and it must be for somebody. There is a rationale and a genuine real purpose for inspiration and passion.

it’s kind of dumb how everyone is hating on the art and the amount that people pay for it. contemporary art is, by design, made to be off putting to the vast majority of people. it’s no secret that most people don’t get it or dislike it. it wouldn’t be worth anyone’s time to make art that is completely acceptable and non controversial.
You know what'd be a great contemporary art piece? Adopt an entire Middle Eastern village, make it look like a New York City market complete with water, food, and shelter.
Why don't you ask the guys at the non-profit organization, Spirit Of America: spiritofamerica.org/, b/c they've been doing it successfully for over a decade now.
These art dealers have all the slimy charm of used car salesmen. Larry Gagosian didn't even have the good manners to stand when he was speaking with Morley Safer. The Contemporary art world is not run by gentlemen aesthetes - the atmosphere at these shows is undignified and banal.
I agree, if the average person can create it, it shouldnt be called art. Im an artist and i get mad when i see stuff i could make when i was seven and seemed to be slapped together, and it sells for alot more than my artwork that took me days to draw...
Morley is brave for taking on the dealers. I feel the same way he does. Our local city museum has some of this "modern art" in it and I just walk right by completely ignoring it. Thanks.
Please believe me when I say I know where you are coming from and totally agree that SOME of this art really is bunk. And like you, I feel cheated by modern contemporary art at times. With that being said, I am an abstract painter and will say it is the easiest of art to do, but the hardest of all to execute well. Not all of it can be done by children. The really good stuff always makes it to the top right beside the bunk.
I was walking through Boston this fall when I noticed they were tearing up the sidewalk near the Fleet Center (or what we used to call the Fleet Center). In a roped off section of the side walk I saw a pile of wooden squares and rectangles. Upon closer inspect, I figured out these were forms placed around man hole covers and utility access grates to make sure they weren't paved over when fresh concrete for the sidewalk was poured. What struck me is each form had been stenciled "This is not Art." I can't help but think doing this passed up on a possible windfall...
Don’t believe in this. Don’t fall for the illusion. Don’t be “everybody has a price.” SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS. Not just posters but original art in your communities.
+U.N.I.C.O cool you should. because if thats what it takes to deflate your drive, you should do something else. art making on that level is really hard.
I think the idea of something being judged and valued for how "hard" it is should only apply to sports and labor. That idea is far outdated. The old ass Jackson Pollock-esque argument-"I could do that" is never followed up by anyone who actually "does" do it. IF they did-they would realize quickly the ART in making something look easy requires a great deal of skill and experience. Send a link to your drawings and then lets talk. You and your opinions require no skill. And I mean it-quit now. Don't clog the stream. Don't try to make it. Don't fucking bother. There are too many people who have been pated on the head by friends who say "that's cool!" like a broken record. You might even save yourself money on student loans. Everyone is NOT AN ARTIST. That idea has been commodified and it is the biggest lie on the planet. Art evolves-and the art at these art fairs represents only part of the "art world" (horrible phrase but that's what it is) Said fairs have went to shit because people with money have null brains and stupid ideas about art too. Look at Jeff Koons-art shit that is made at a high skill level-and it implies that is has some deep meaning and intellect behind it (i.e. it's confusing). SO when the rich cokehead piece of shit buys it-in their mind they are buying the intellect-so then in turn they POSSESS the intellect. And that is something you cannot buy. Either is SKILL or TASTE. But you can drop lame comments on youtube. So do yourself a favor-stop hating and understand this-ART IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. Whoever told you that was full of shit. Just like COOKING is not for everyone. FOOD is-but think about how much fucking food there is in the world and what SMALL amount you eat (cuisine-I mean cuisine, i.e. thai ,african, laos etc) The same applies for art. There is tons of art to see and much you will know and understand-like fucking Starry Night by Van Gogh. But there is so much you WILL NOT understand unless you are an ARTIST. Its a career with lots to know and at no point does every fucking person need to know every fucking idea and theory and blah blah blah. No-but you can find out. But first you have to stop shitting on things you don't take the time to understand. I know I am right. I am an old hat in all this shit. Go google yourself....
But you are really fucking good at drawing so don't fucking listen to me. Fuck what other people say. Go for it. If I would have listened to someone like me I would have been miserable. That was some Mr. Miyaga shit. Go out there and make bank.
I wouldn't call it mindless, but it is definitely a scam. More importantly, I think it's a sign of the times we're living in. With the world at your fingertips, I think we've reached the point where people can be artists and rockstars in a heartbeat without ever actually learning the trade. I think we're placing more importance on the product rather then the effort, which makes the art a product rather then fine art. It's heartbreaking for those of us who can spend months on a single piece.

I just want to thank CBSNews personally for exposing the fraud of Modern Art. As an Artist devoted to traditional creations of master paintings drawings and sculpture I feel I have been cheated by modern contemporary Art. And I want to *bow* to the people that are brave enough to say the Emperor has no clothes even if it might mean being called a traitor to "Good Taste". Thank you for speaking the truth and showing that modern Art is just junk that a child of 9 can do a better job at.
you look around and you see people making art today. but wheres the mastery? when was the last time you saw something strikingly beautiful. something that makes you want to cry. some artists only care about the money. shit green and bright orange.
I've seen things...you wouldnt believe, beautiful paintings, that make me breathe heavily just from looking at them. You will never feel that in a place like this, full of thick rich people who don't even know what an emotion is.
Most artist funciton as social critics, only a few reveal. The artmarket is miniscule btw., there is more money going around in bags with fancy patterns.
This is what happens when the richest nations on earth have destroyed their own culture - and few have a real education. The percentage of buyers and dealers at Art Basel who have any knowledge of art history would be minuscule. This is a clear reflection of how grotesquely nihilistic the Western world has become. They are so superficial and deluded they actually consider Christopher Wool to be a present-day equal of Johannes Vermeer.
I just love this art that Morley Safer is reporting on. But some years ago he reported on this artist name Thornton Dial. Safer criticize this artists work so bad that he almost destroyed the guy, only because he couldn't express his self very well and had little or no education. But his art was beautiful. I hated Safer for a long time after that, but I got over it. Thornton works could stand beside all the great artists of his time and in the past. He is consider and outside artist. (WOW)
Not only that. The artist of the work she bought, Gerhard Richter, hates rich people owning his work. He has said many times that he wants his work in museums for the public rather than for the 1%
Watch this video and tell me that mass psychosis, no matter your race, sexual orientation, gender, political affiliation, religious beliefs, etc., doesn’t exist. We are so vulnerable each and every day to this stuff.
+Nick Davis You don't have to purchase art to have the sensibility that today's contemporary art is horrible. I'm not saying all of it is bad, but most of it is. Is there really meaning behind some of these pieces of so called "art"? Tell me how floating tools, a rusty van overloaded with bananas, and a canvas with multiple shades of blue is considered "art".
A contemporary artist's response to, "Ugh, I could do that!" is always, "Ah, but you didn't!" This usually only serves to infuriate people further, and "art speak" certainly doesn't help. ;)
@Fortescue Yes, it's the point, hence my saying it. But art speak is still insufferable when you're talking about a vacuum cleaner in a box selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In the past, you had to go through a kind of college of art. They all had to be masters before going on to modern art. I agree that some of it is pretty ridiculous. To me it has to serve some kind of purpose like evoking a sort of emotion when you look at it. Modern art like Pollock it looked like a mess but there was symmetry to the mess. When you paint you fill in the negative spaces on the canvass, so that there is a balance between the negative and positive space. Obonoxious artists give art a bad rap, there's enough bad stuff going on irritating people day by day. Its all been photographed, sketched, molded…what can you do? There are 4 types of artist…masters, technical, craftsmen, and other.
+Kelly oxo Pollock, DeKooning, Krasner, Rothko etc etc were not masters before they "entered" modern art. They became modern art to be specific. And Pollock painted in some way or form with one of the New Deal enterprises. Painting murals. Which he wasn't good at.
A few of the works in the video are beautiful to me (like the one the woman bought near the end and some of the other paintings), but the rest of it looks like garbage...
This is sad, because as an artist you would like for everyone to enjoy and perhaps have your art hanging in their homes. Unfortunately only the billionaires seem to have an interest in art, for whatever reason their interest have always been there. Working class people not so much. In my case I paint replicas of famous works and give it away. That way at least people become familiar with different types of art movements.
It’s not inexplicable. It feeds the ego of the participants. A collector can participate in the existential adventure of discovery. The galleries, curators, museums and dealers can bath in aura of making cultural history; however simulated. The artists run the gamut of trust fund ding dongs to genius explorers of the semiosphere and each functions as the raw ingredient to be exploited. All of which functions at a peculiar remove from the glaring excesses of pop industrial culture in a kind of hyperreal paradox that feigns to critique the inequities of the very system it relies on.
His point is still valid, this is not art. It's business, and looks suspiciously like money laundering. Calling it art is insulting for real artists.
Money is NOT a defining measure of quality.
Define real artists, please.
Morley just stand there with a "you can't be serious" face. Priceless.
Meh. One note Morley. But I share his skepticism.
