I'm "Klein Blue" because I saw an Yves Klein monochrome at the SFMOMA and stared at it for 20 minutes going "Okay, this modern art thing? I get it now." Friend's parents had a Klee print in their bathroom growing up - who cares? Girl had a Kandinsky in her room - who cares? Jackson Pollack? Fuck off. The capper was when, in 9th grade, I went to Europe and the Stedelijk in Amsterdam and three of the exhibits were from a couple of my mom's friends. I mean, I'd helped put that shit together. Modern art museum? Fuck off. It was a bunch of TVs. I would love to see some "modern" art that isn't either Morpheus International or Deviant Art. The Hirstification of art just bugs the shit out of me.
