themselves to go to extremes. Very edgy works will include
blood, vivisections, animals cut up in jars of formaldehyde,
and even the Virgin Mary painted using elephant dong. The
idea is to push the envelope... for no reason other than
attention.
An art collector who is looking for a piece of value, a
piece to collect and make a part of their home will find that
while this artwork is expensive, buying it is really not
it's purpose and will not make them very happy.
But I do encourage visiting at least one of these
conceptual art shows. As an experience both in humor and
humanity, it'll definitely broaden your horizon. And the free
food and free cocktails are usually pretty good at these
events.
