When you walk through the windswept streets of Soho and Mayfair, around Golden Square from Brewer St, across Regent Street all lit up with Christmas lights and half empty of the rich and lazy moneyed masses of the continent, do you feel sorry for the empty shopkeepers of Diane Von Furstenburg, Vivienne Westwood, Chanel and Swarovski ?
Do you think it will be a good Xmas ?
If you were given a Bafta or an Oscar, would you walk up on stage, accept your award, wait for the applause to die, and then with mock humility, say;
If you battle through the crowds on a cold, rain soaked London day and finally navigate your way to the new Gagosian temple of art, that is the message you will receive from Cy.
"Fuck you all, I vomit on art !"
Mr Billionaire, what is there here? Two pieces of red paint scrawled (pictured) entitled Bacchus. There are also round squiggles in purple on huge canvas, and another canvas with three wobbly lines scrawled as if the artist was on his deathbed and tried to paint with the wrong hand, while holding a long stick with a brush on its end. The beauty of Pissaro's landscapes and Parisian boulevards, Monet's water lilles, Manet's Olympia or his Bar Girl at the Moulin Rouge, Degas at the ballet, Picasso's whole oeuvre, all Matisse, Dufy's scenes of the Baie Des Anges, Bacon's depictions of madness, Freud and his brutal nudes, Oldenburg, Jeff Koons and Banksy's gifts to our land and city scapes.
Forget them all Mr £1bn- Cy gives you empty, pointless scrawl for your millions. by buying this ,you are actively giving a V sign to all the beauty produced by these others. You dont give a f. So long as makes you money, the rest dont matter ...right?
