Original artwork description:

"Sometimes Art Can Be A Pain In The Ass" is an old metal chair frame bearing the titles of arts works which have all, at some time, and for various reasons, caused controversy in the art world. Titles include Duchamp "Fountain" , Balthus "The Guitar Lesson", Michelangelo "The Last Judgement", Marcus Harvey "Myra" and Emin "My Bed". The piece is meant to be a talking point and aims to arouse debate. Not only have the titles been a pain in the ass for the art establishment, but the piece itself would be a literal pain in the ass if sat on.

Materials used:

wood, metal, acrylic paint
