   Your Art, My Art

   The New York Times today came out with a list of "the 25 works of art made after 1970 that define the contemporary age, by anyone, anywhere." What struck me was how little any of the works meant to me.

   I list each one of the selections in the Times article and write a short paragraph about it and my response to it. Then I offer an alternative image, one that represents what to me counts as "important" art. I'll then explain that choice.

      @Downes I particularly like 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 21.

      Of course you're not 'not educated enough'. In fact, in terms used by an article you recently cited, I think you could say you are excellent.

      and I agree with you there too, we can all be excellent.
