Fine Art, Ugly Economy

As the New York Times reports, the art world is having to come to terms with the economy’s bleak outlook. And nowhere is that more true than with me. As you must know, I am a ridiculously successful fine artist, but now that collectors are spending less, I’ve had to scale back my grand vision. Here are a few of my would-be masterpieces that our failing economy has robbed you of.

1) A Monet Water Lilies painting decoupaged with hundred dollar bills.

2) A spoken word piece in which I convince people with minimum wage jobs to take out million dollar loans.

3) A shot for shot remake of the “Jessie Gets Strung Out on Caffeine Pills” episode of Saved By the Bell acted out entirely by Tom Hanks using motion capture software.

4) An equestrian sculpture of Alan Greenspan made of gold.

Yes, the world is a much poorer place without those works of art, but it’s not all bad news. Now I’ll finally have no choice but to debut my performance piece titled “Working at Burger King.”

So be on the look out for that. It’s a work that New York Times art critic Holland Cotter might very well call, “An unflinching exploration into making ends meet.”
