Untitled is a 2003 piece by institution critique and performance artist Andrea Fraser.
For this piece Fraser sold, with the help of a Gallerist, a night of sex to a private collector.
The work sold for $20,000 dollars and was filmed, for the collectors keeping.
---------------------------------------------------------------
It raises questions of the artist themselves as the commodity rather then the value of their works. i get that. but i hate art that makes me ask "is this art." But i am forced to here.
Because I hate being on the fence about these things, I am willing to claim that i buy it.
opinions?????
