How are you at Modern Art?

[Diane CBPFC]

Take the test: http://reverent.org/true_art_or_fake_art.html

I got 67% 

[Elizabeth]

I got 83%.

Have you seen the hole in the floor at the Tate Modern? Someone said you could lose a whole toddler in one end of it...

I got 50%. Mind you, I may not know much about art, but I know what I like!   :

Elizatheth - does that mean that on April 7th a truckload of cement will be delivered to the Tate? 

I liked the story behind Shibboleth - but I think the art itself will be yet another Shibboleth - those that get it, and those that would like to, but are distracted by the bloody big crack in the floor.

92% - I slipped up on question 6...should have gone with my gut instinct.

I like a lot of modern art. It's the critics and collectors I detest - the pretentious promulgators of instant fame and patronage, based on little more than the whim of the moment, which can make or break an artist of little or enormous talent. Mind you, if any of them suddenly decided that what I do for a modest living was worth megabucks, that'd be different.

We all believe you Tarks 93%

I know, Peter - it's hard to believe I got one wrong, but it's the truth.

I don't think you can actually get 93% (assuming you're offering that up as your score), but I'm sure Mincey will explain the maths for you.

Peter can bend space and time. I wouldn't be too sure.

"Mincy Face" !!??

Thats my birthday 

[Diane CBPFC]

I don't expect they will ask you to wheel up barrows of cement seeing it's your birthday Colin - they probably have union artists with colourful shovels to do the job - perhaps blindfolded wearing bunny costumes.

I got 67% too. I think the other got under the wire with a couple of those nice spirograph-type things.

It just proves that anyone can do "modern" art. One thing in my defence, however, is that I didn't misidentify any classic abstract pieces as fake.
