http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26270260 A cleaner has mistakenly thrown away contemporary artworks meant to be part of an exhibition in southern Italy. Works made out of newspaper and cardboard, and cookie pieces scattered across the floor as part of Sala Murat's display were thrown out. Lorenzo Roca, from cleaning firm Chiarissima, said the unnamed cleaner was "just doing her job". He added his firm's insurance would cover the value of the art, estimated to be around 10,000 euros (£8,200). It later emerged the cleaner had handed them over to refuse collectors, thinking it was rubbish left behind by workers who set up the Mediating Landscape exhibition. Wow, if I were the artist, I would find this pretty depressing. It wouldn't reflect well on my artwork if it was being mistaken for rubbish! |

Well lately anything thrown together can be called "art" and estimating a value to that price is ridiculous if you ask me |

That is true^. The artwork in that picture is garbage. Crap like that should be thrown away and burned. This is also the reason why people have lost respect for art. |

This gives me an idea. I can never be bothered tidying my room. Instead of cleaning it, I'll just tell people it's a work of modern art from now on !
