BBC critical arts historian Will Self asks - Whats wrong with modern art ?
Author: Distil Ennui | Post Date: 14-11-2023
' I've been responsible for a fair amount of absolutely total nonsense in my time ', he writes, but says most contemporary art is little more than ' overvalued tosh and useless ephemera. '
Instead of a world where Russian oligarchs ' buy artworks by the metric tonne and plaster them on the walls of their vulgar houses", he calls for a genuine understanding of art where - once again - we become "capable of conveying and explaining the subtle ambiguities of genuine art. '
