A mechanic working at the LAM museum in Lisse assumed the artwork, entitled All The Good Times We Spent Together, was rubbish

    So, if I randomly find an empty beer can two meters from a trash can, and think about the lazy person who probably threw it there, is it art? If he did it for the sake of art and I had a though about it, is it art if I am not aware of it?

    Art is just dumb, give me back my paintings and sculptures.

      Yes to both questions.

      Edit: I think the problem is that many think that art must have intrinsic value. Well I disagree. Art can be trashy but still art.
