I am winding down on the 2010 because of the fake cork, but it's still a thing of beauty.

Yes, it's time to drink up. But what a perfectly-sized, digestible wine.

Hey, beauty and honesty are resilient things. They won't come looking for you but they don't exactly hide. Movement, excitement? To what end? You can keep your Koons.

Beauty and honesty might be effective guiding principles for individual wine quests, but I'm afraid they are not resilient categories in art. Notions of beauty vary widely according to time and place (the so-called timeless is an inheritance); the requirement of honesty would basically eliminate everything made using vanishing-point perspective in the last 700 years. Part of the wonder of art is its freedom from such constraints, its provision of a safe haven for the expression of the entire human condition, including a lot of what we find deplorable outside the boundaries of art. So, yes, I'll keep the Koons.
 
Speaking of Koons, there were a couple this week on tour at the Seattle Art Museum that blew me away. That guy gets into the fabrication.

I suppose you'll be keeping the McCarthy too?

I like that phrase "the so-called timeless is an inheritance". I can't say I'm thrilled with the notion that museum curators 2000 years in the future might be defining our era with a big, shiny Koons.
 
Yes, McCarthy's De Kooning video is a keeper.

Not that we should care what anyone thinks in the future, but maybe Orlan would better represent our selfie times.
