Just when I thought I have endured the non plus ultra Bostonian upper respitory infection, along comes its big brother. Until blogging resumes, enjoy: Simon Schama and the Power Rangers of Art. (via)

OP, I like "Nothing gets dull more quickly than the cutting edge."

Me too, Jack. Except I would make it "nothing is more dull than the cutting edge".

I like the lost dog poster the best... certainly better than the one that spells "realms" without the necessary "a".

I also like "Do not confuse advocacy for art."

Yes, Marc. The dog poster is very good.

By the way, if it's possible to look "too English," Simon Schama does.

Yes, Fluff is pretty piss-poor.

April 9, 2007, 6:53 PM
yet, occasionally worth over hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Why is fluff the dog worth so much money?

It's all about the pedigree, man...

Hmmm
Is the art in the corner art a detail of a Dzubas painting??
I like the changing format

Billermo, if you think Fluff is bad, you should get a load of Feckless. On second thought, keep your distance.

i think art is better off as a stray anyways, you know if you love it set it free.......and however the rest of that went.
i cant help imagine fluff and feckless as one of those 4 lb froofroo dogs you see all over south beach.

+1 to RL for identifying the Dzubas.

Whenever I go to Lincoln Road on South Beach, there are always plenty of dogs, but they are never regular dogs. Ever. They're always designer dogs, either the small "accessory" type or the huge "get a load of this" type. I keep looking for anything like a real dog, but I've never seen one there. It's like there's a law against it. Or maybe they have very aggressive doggy hit squads to immediately remove and eliminate anything that's not chi-chi enough. Fluff anf Feckless would love it there.

Yeah, Fluff is one of those "Teacup" breeds that are so popular with the Paris Hilton-types, that also make up today's cadre of top collectors of 'important' art.
It's worth noting, of course, that "Teacup" is not a distinction recognized by reputable dog breeders, since, to come up with such fashionably tiny abominations, unscrupulous puppy merchants purposely selectively breed only the sickly runts of every litter (the regular, healthy pups being, of course, worthless in today's elite market).
The analogy is so apt...

The analogy is so apt...
