<This is absolute bilge, a perfect example of the very worst kind of deceit in the business of art: a connoiseur/poseur insisting he sees something that by any objective standard really isn't there (something purely imaginary) and suggesting by implication that anyone else who doesn't also see it is somehow lacking. This is out and out fraud> Wasn't he joking and poking fun at the whole idea? Or was that serious and just the editor making comments about the price? I decided it was a joke. Partly because the colours were confused and presumably the colours were significant < The only differences are in their relative position and colour. And while there is twice the quantity of blue, the red band is just as important > What price a visual art which only comes into being with some verbiage to actually do the conjuring of concept. Take away the words and the art disappears. Mq

In the mid 1960's, I washed dishes in a restaurant for one dollar per hour. Although I was constantly rushed to keep up with the inflow, I did have time to contemplate the value of each dollar in my pay envelope. The price paid for "Voice of Fire" represents, to me, my efforts in that restaurant, while standing with my hands and forearms in hot soapy water, while the big hand on the clock makes 1,800,000 revolutions. It is from this perspective, I can claim without hesitation or reservation that those who paid this much money and received this little value in return are idiots. Whether their minds were crippled by overexposure to creative street-corner pharmacology or oxygen deprivation through immersion in art world excrement is immaterial -- they're still brain-dead.
