Don't be defensive, I feel exactly this way. I went to see an exhibit called
Veronica's Revenge a couple of weeks ago in Copenhagen. It is a large collection
assembled by a rich Swiss woman and includes "work" by the likes of Cindy
Sherman--huge color blowup of something that looks like puke on the ground (maybe
it is). I am sure it is great Art, but I am only a simple economist and
businessperson and I guess the Art just does not penetrate my thick skull.

Give me LensWork anytime.
