Viewer as Voyeur: A Short History of Perfectly Dirty Art
Sex sells....
From the New York Observer
This is also a hot topic in the yoga world if you want to get the drift from Art Trip's alter-ego

Spot the Art School Cliché
Rate the art schools in the UK that use the most cliches (who knew there were that many).
Zines (“ … much cooler than a magazine,” it informs us),
Close-up Photos (“The closer the lens to the subject, the more talented the photographer. Or something like that.”),
Graffiti (“The law is wrong … it’s art.”),
Polaroids (“Far from dead … ”),
Manifesto (“ … best thing to do with a boring message … ”),
Loving Parents (“Thinly-veiled criticisms of parents disguised as odes of love … ”),
CMYK (“What could be better than cyan, magenta, yellow and black unmixed?”),
Found Objects (“A cheap way of sourcing materials.”),
Poor Technical Execution (“Surely using a ruler and a sharp scalpel blade can’t be that difficult.”), and
Social Change (“Society isn’t fair!”) …

Campbell Soup letter to Warhol
Campbell SOUP Company
CAMDEN 1, NEW JERSEY
May 19, 1964
Mr. A. Warhol
1342 Lexington Avenue
New York, New York
Dear Mr. Warhol:
I have followed your career for some time. Your work has evoked a great deal of interest here at Campbell Soup Company for obvious reasons.
At one time I had hoped to be able to acquire one of your Campbell Soup label paintings - but I'm afraid you have gotten much too expensive for me.
I did want to tell you, however, that we admired your work and I have since learned that you like Tomato Soup. I am taking the liberty of having a couple of cases of our Tomato Soup delivered to you at this address.
We wish you continued success and good fortune.
Cordially,
(Signed, 'William P. MacFarland')

Child art prodigy sells paintings for £150,000
"Kieron Williamson, dubbed the ‘mini Monet’, attracted buyers from all over the world when 33 of his paintings were put up for sale, with one couple from Philadelphia camping outside the gallery for two days before the exhibition started on Friday."
"The majority of the talented youngster’s work features Norfolk landscapes and coastal scenery, though there are also paintings of London landmarks and even Hong Kong. The biggest seller was an oil painting entitled Sunrise at Morston, which went for £7,995."
Amazing. Not so much his art, but he can get that much for it. Story here
