Tracey Emin Sydney city art bronze bird sculptures Heart of Distance[^]
Quote: The artist's work is default raw and emotional.
It looks like the crap I made out of plasticine in 1973 when back in pre-school. Luckily everything in Sydney and Australia is perfect and paid off so we can send boat loads of money to some poor depressed talentless Pom.

Think yourself lucky - one of her "art" exhibits was her unmade bed[^]
Talentless, pretentious twaddle, the lot of it.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You (all) are making the mistake of shooting at the wrong target. Tracey Emin is doing very well - rich and famous - and is free to produce what she wants. It's the people who buy into this stuff who give it its value, and who deserve the scorn.

No, I think that the producer and consumer deserve equal scorn!

Hence my sarcasm as to us having paid all important things off and the place being perfect so we can waste money like in this instance.

So true. I recall a few years ago the Turner prize went to someone who placed two small pieces of wood at right angles.

That money includes binoculars to each and every citizen - too see the birds on the first place...
My kids also 'put' some birds on my roof - it cost me a handful of breadcrumb each day... probably of few hundred dollars until the end of my days...

At least you only got one and funny comments at the bottom of the newspaper article.

There are two types of artist.
People like Jack Vetriano who are loved by absolutely everyone who isn't an art critic and people like Emin who are only loved by art critics.
I'm very much on the side of everyone who isn't an art critic.

Yep - whenever I hear an art critic say that Rubens or Botticelli are overrated...

Having visited the Museum of Fine art in Brussels, I can say that, in my opinion, Salvador Dali painted much better knockers than Ruebens ever did!

Curiously, you could not see one in "Hitler Masturbating"[^], nor could you tell if the song was accurate!

I think the "artist" was inspired by GTA IV[^]
It was broke, so I fixed it.

which has cost City of Sydney taxpayers $912,000 is meant to represent how close people are to each other, whether laying in bed together or at opposite ends of the world.
And to think, that could have bought 9,120 people some "closeness" in other ways. Approximately. I really have no idea what the going rate is in Australia. Or anywhere else for that matter. Just to set the record straight. I'll leave now.

At some point in the early 20th century western art went from:
"I wish I could make/paint/sculpt that!"
to
"My 4 year old could make that!"
And we are so much culturally better off now. 
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

Nice to see that Sydney has solved all of its budget problems, though a tax cut may have been preferable.
