Did you happen to pick up this past Friday's Wall Street Journal? In the Weekend Journal section in the Art & Collecting column they talk about the decline of interest in "my kid could do that" art, and the increase in interest in the human form and objects. But traditionalists should not celebrate too much, many of the forms are mutated or altered in some way. "Bidders fought fiercely for Jeff Koon's $1.8 million sculpture of a nude woman in a bathtub, which omits the top third of her head and adds a scary creature with a periscope and a party hat bubbling under the water." Nice. "The language of film" seems to be the theme that ran through the latest auctions. A Cindy Sherman photograph fetched $52,875, and a very non-abstract sculpture of a man holding a boy fetched $121,000.
