# Oh but really,Tracey Emin was quoted as saying
'When people see my bed they think 'This looks like my bed.' when really it isn't their bed, it is mine!'

Now that makes it all the more clearer why she's a prize-winning artist! ;)

# You know, I think I have a lot of patience with modern artists
and I usually think that an installation that makes people think or breaks regular thought patterns is more art than, say, a painting of a vase with flowers.
With the occasional exception, of course.

That being said, she's obviously wrong.

# But it is her bed! ;)
I agree I like art to be a bit more challenging than a nice looking picture, David Hockney does a nice line in Cubist Photography where he did a montage of photos of a chair that seem to make the chair look weird and splayed out but as he explained - it wasn't just a static picture of a chair but his interpretation of the chair from the view of someone walking past it therefore what he was representing was the chair viewed over time - which I rather liked that concept.

# Cool ;)

Re: But she was wrong in thinking that she had me thinking it looked like my bed though :)

# I think there are two distinct sides to Hockney -
there's the cool and sharp, and the wild and free. I think of them as ice Hockney and field hockney.
