The King's Ransom

by Tim Allen

“This piece represents the influence art critics have on the world, that is to say that art critics take all that is beauty and expression and reduce it to a few menial comments and for what? To enhance the piece? To offer feedback? No, simply to inflate their own ego and get a rise out of real artists in an attempt to monetize their bland tastes. I hope any art critic that sees this piece understands the true garbage that they are.”
