I snootily consider myself to be far above average in my knowledge of fine arts, but I only scored 8 out of 16 on this test:

I was an art history major, and I scored 13 out of 16. That is quite a clever quiz.

I don't care where it's displayed or what the price tag is, the statue of Michael Jackson is crap.

Hah... I'm not into Koon's "art" either PJ.

I snootily consider myself to be far above average in my knowledge of crap, I got all the crap right.

hah I got 15 out of 16 but my opinion of those choices would have made the results much different... Missed the fingers.

Fine Art Major here...

9 out of 16...

yikes

I got 12 of 16, not bad for a zoology major! Well, one was covered in fur...

I've seen that oh-so-scary Michael Jackson and chimp sculpture in real life, and it's disturbingly huge, and I swear both of them have eyes that appear to follow your movements.

Remember......

12/16, and a proud graduate of the Ontario College of Art! haha

anything fronm Pompei is ART!

"You teach Art History don't you" 14/16
Yeah, the urinal and 'fingers' got me.

Or as Billy Childish once sang:
"Art or Arse

Damien Hirst got his fish in a tank
some say it's art others think it's wank
Sarah Kent says he's doing quite well
you gotta make your art and you gotta sell

Tracey Emin is a media whore
so what the hell's she crying for
everyone agrees her art is shit
she's made her bed now she lies in it

Duchamp signed his old piss pot
it was ant-art you silly twat
now I think you've all lost the plot
you'd call it art if it was Sarah Lucas's snot

Charles Saatchi the Svengali
he's in love with Mammon and appearing arty
he gave Damien the shark and told him to suff it
but he'll go down in history as Thatcher's puppet

now the Turner Prize is run by a joker
who goes by the name of Sir Nicholas Serota
he wants to be weird and avant garde
but the poor old girl's just trying too hard

if Turner was alive he'd be spinning in his grave
he'd raise his hand and give he two fingered wave
you think it's art but it's arse
to con you mugs isn't very hard

(c) Childish 2000"

Trader Woody

11 out of 16....but I really think the urinal on black velvet is art.

I now have a higher opinion of crap and a lower opinion of art.

Shipwreck Joey, that's brilliant, I think you should move that statement to the "Slogans You'd Like To See On Things" thread!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

The fur cup is by one of my favorite artists Meret Oppenheim.

You guessed "crap" on all 16 of them didn't you? :)

I agree, most of Jeff Koons' work is crap, but it's art for purposes of this test.

You have to see this Michael Jackson piece in persion to really appreciate it (or not) -- it's extremely disturbing.

I got a 14 too - probably time for a new profession. Regarding the Koons I have seen that piece and think he was right on the money with that poor sick bastard and that thing has to be 20 years old.
