Why they let him have gum in the art museum in the first place is a mystery.Daveway said:I had to laugh when I read this even though it was a very bad thing to do.![]()
Boy, 12, Sticks Gum on $1.5M Painting

Doctor Q said:Those on the other side will say that GUM CONTROL is an overreaction, that our constitutional rights would be infringed by GUM CONTROL, and that GUM doesn't harm paintings, people harm paintings.
Change the name of the painting to "Bay Polar", sell it, and use the proceeds to support Gum Control. "When they pry it out from my dead, cold follicles.""...officials say. They say he took a piece of Wrigley's Extra Polar Ice gum out of his mouth and stuck it on Helen Frankenthaler's "The Bay,"
Well, chewing gum is banned in my country.............Doctor Q said:This incident may bring out new calls for GUM CONTROL. Amidst this publicity, lobbyists on both sides of the issue are going to converge on lawmakers to make their cases heard.
Those on one side will say it's long past time for new serious GUM CONTROL regulations, and that incidents like this one are the obvious result when people are able to carry it around with them, usually concealed.
Those on the other side will say that GUM CONTROL is an overreaction, that our constitutional rights would be infringed by GUM CONTROL, and that GUM doesn't harm paintings, people harm paintings.
Chew on that!
Plus you would have to consider different types of gum, such as a single, double, chicklit, bubble, etc.Doctor Q said:This incident may bring out new calls for GUM CONTROL.

solvs said:I studied art in college. Mostly classic, which is actually usually good, but some modern. It's supposed to be about challenging the standard definitions of what art is by creating something new. Looking at something like Dali or Picasso you can see what the artist is trying to express, and allows people to use their imaginations to run free rather than just making something realistic and obvious. Others attempted to buck convention by showing that anything can be art, like Warhol.
Stuff like this just makes rich people feel smarter because no one else gets it. Even though most of them don't get it until someone tells them what to think. It's supposed to mean something, but most of the time it's the same thing that's been done a million times before, since before Pollack popularized it. Nowadays it's just pretty colors for people who are bored and have more money than sense who wouldn't know art if it slapped them in the face.
