The modern world of art is a spectacle world. For thousands of years, man has been able to intervene with matter. This skill is something you can’t find anymore. A clever idea with a poor realization, is not enough for me. For example, is art a shark in formol? A headless diamond? A horse hung from the roof? Why are you called an artist by cutting ice in Antarctica with a laser? Why are you a creator if you shock and you are terrible? The world of art no longer works for its grandeur but for its marketing, as Gombrich has said. Art historians, critics and journalists are working to promote only the new, without evaluation. Art began to tumble in the 1960s, when Warhol clearly stated that he was only interested in money. Of course, Duchamp was the one who started this destruction.
