My favorite art.

I would like to start posting art work that I'm interested in, because now that I'm thinking of trying to get published as an art critic, I think that it is important to document these things. 

numero uno.

A documentary was recently made by Banksy called Exit through the Gift Shop and it tells the story of this crazy french-man who documented the street art scene for Banksy and many other artists (like Space Invader, Obey). He convinced all of these artists that he was making a documentary, but in reality he just had an obsession with filming everything in his life, and became obsessed with documenting their work. When he finally made a movie and it sucked, Banksy told him he should become an artist himself, and he became a millionaire overnight. His work is pop art made of pop art. It really means nothing. But it sells for extremely high prices and for me (even though he is seemingly crazy and this was unintentional) represents art in itself. He somehow figured out how to trick the entire art world into thinking he was some sort of genius, but the reality is he knew the right people, and he knew how to present on a large scale to force the viewing public into thinking he was something he was not. In other words, he is awesome. He proved how you don't have to be anything to become famous and rich, you just have to pretend.
