In fairness I too had that initial thought. But now I’ve had more time to really appreciate it, I actually think it goes far deeper than that.

The very fact it has generated a thread on a 2nd tier football club forum validates it as art.

Went to Tate Modern when it opened. Spent ages trying to avoid standing on one of the exhibits.
Turns out they were the Aircon vents for the building.

I’m not one to dismiss ‘modern’ art out of hand. I quite like traipsing around a gallery trying to figure out what’s going on. However, I went to Tate Modem a couple of years back and in one of the rooms, there was a blank canvass. The plaque next to it explained something like ‘the artist has left it blank so that the viewer could determine their own artistic impression when viewing the piece’
I mean come on now!

I wouldn't glance at that if it appeared in a skip on the driveway of the house opposite me.
Oh, hang on...

I mean, maybe it is art but why would people pay for this? (Sorry can’t read the article so this may be explained).He could have gone one better and got paid for it like this genius...

Not quite the same but many years ago when I had a very different job, I worked for a QANGO, The Shadow Strategic Rail Authority or the SSRA. They became the SRA.
As part of their rebranding, ‘Coming out of the Shadow’, they paid an advertising company 10s of £1000s to rebrand the logo etc. The readvertising consisted of them taking the ‘S’ away. Literally nothing else.

An artist took $84,000 in cash from a museum and handed in blank canvases titled "Take the Money and Run." He's been ordered to return some of it
Artist Jens Haaning was given money to use in a work of art, but instead, he pocketed it, turning in blank canvases titled "Take the Money and Run." He had until January 2022 to return the cash to the Kusten Museum, and a legal battle ensued.
