So if you're right in your tirade, Warhol was full of shit as was Lichtenstein as was Basquiat. Art is what art is – so it feels like advertising – so what? When people first saw Picasso's abstract work they thought he was nuts for going in that direction – when Dylan picked up an electric guitar everyone said he was done, when Steven Shore was the first artists to show color photography in a museum people freaked out -in fact back in day photographers like Ansel Adams, Minor White and Dorothea Lang had to fight to be recognized as artists at all. You sound like someone who is yelling sell out because of change. You don't have to like it but I assure you it is art.

On the "fine art" tip when these guys leave the confines of being to scared to use paint in public it's the opposite of street, underground, outsider or whatever you want to call it. It's no different than a pretty picture of a flower or a couple of Frenchies sipping drinks at a cafe. It's modern cute pop shit. That said I obviously don't include Writer/Peacers with these sticker/poster guys. That be like lumping Robert Plant in with Kanye West. I am interested in seeing what other artists are in this show for that reason.

..and it's no suprise the Auction houses are pushing it trendy art. There's a huge market for it. WOrd to Banksy.
