"Michael Jackson's chimp Bubbles is now an artist and he's about to have an exhibition - with paintings on sale for up to $2,000. Other primates putting their works on display include stars of 'Planet of the Apes,' orangutans from the movie 'Going Ape!' and NBC's soap opera 'Passions.'"

I think those look pretty cool and I'd hang them on my wall.
I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for them though.

they have exhibitions for all kinds of dumb stuff, this doesn't have anything to do with the art world. $2000 is also not much, if it were 'where the art world is today' they'd be $200,000

Because you like them or so you could say, "Yeah Bubbles the chimp painted those."?

Terrible Shameful Bait
Bubbles the chimp is back and he is a cultural Bolshevik.

Then it's like "cat paintings" and now you are a part of the problem. The more shit like this gets promoted (celebrity artists, fucking animal artists, etc.) the more it lowers the bar for what is considered "Art". It also cheapens what it takes for real Artists to create. People see an elephant painting a canvas or some moron launching tempra out of the vag, and the first thing they think is, "Hmm, well I can do that." Which means in their mind, ANYONE can do it, which translates to Art has very little value/why would I pay a lot of money for it?

Have you missed the part where I said I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for it?
I can even appreciate a pure black canvas and hang it on my wall but in terms of value this stuff shouldn't even come anywhere near classical art, no matter the artist or circumstance.

That's the message. Did you miss that? The guy who sells his abstracts in Jackson Square, in NOLA just had to lower his price because "cat paintings" (or monkey, or ape, or elephant, or insect, or I literally shit paint paintings. Coming soon: AI/robot paintings).

So what. Don't pay attention to it and it will die out.
