I get regular emails from an outfit called fineartmultiple. Some of the art they feature is excellent, but there's a fair amount of trash masquerading as art.
Today I was honoured with this presentation - https://fineartmultiple.com/laure-prouvost
The sheer pretension of the narrative alone is enough to put one off - if art has to be explained in such absurd terms it's only art in the imagination of the creator and the gallery agent that's trying to flog it.
But even if somebody was inclined to shell out £1,000 for one of the posters they might just as well print it themselves. It's only a print anyway, it has no intrinsic artistic quality, and I'm sure it could very easily be copied onto high quality paper and mounted for about £50 so that it would be indistinguishable from the original.
Bah, humbug!
