The Art Gallery as Art 1

Saatchi Gallery London; internal / external staircases abstraction

 

Asserting physical parts of international art museums can be considered to be art in their own right, thereby Democratizing Art by subtracting the sanctimonious air of exclusivity of objects that the large institutions choose to install within their property's walls.

First artwork in the radical new concept portfolio.

 

" The Art we look at is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of Art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an Art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few multi-millionaires."

- Banksy, c. 2005
