How the frick am I still poor?



quote:

Tracey Emin's "My Bed," complete with cigarette butts, crumpled sheets and underwear, sold for 2.5 million pounds ($4.25 million) on Tuesday, a record for the artist, who was present at the auction and applauded and whooped delightedly.

quote:

Fifteen years ago, the startlingly human elements of the work, which includes discarded condoms and stained sheets, caused a sensation, raising questions about what was and was not art.

This reminds me of that scene in Ted when Joel McHale's character is taking Marky Mark's character through his house and stops at a painting and says "This is art, get it?" and they both stare blankly at it and walk away.

So...there's that.

If being rich gets me a semen covered condom dumpster of a bed, I'll remain middle class happily.

The "art" is convincing someone to buy that. I don't know how someone else could convince me otherwise.

Is this some random lady or an actual artist? How are they going to transport it in its exact condition?

Anyways, freaking dumb.
