#1 The installation cost about £300,000 and took more than six months to complete.

Yes, once again, I am in the wrong business.
Please adress all personal injury lawsuits to "controversial" artist Doris Salcedo...

Not going anywhere near that - literally or figuratively.

#4 The Tate also showed this magnificent bit of "Art":

"Tracey Emin shows us her own bed, in all its embarrassing glory. Empty booze bottles, fag butts, stained sheets, worn panties: the bloody aftermath of a nervous breakdown. By presenting her bed as art, Tracey Emin shares her most personal space, revealing shes as insecure and imperfect as the rest of the world."

It later sold for around $250,000. Proving, once again, that we're all in the wrong business.

#6 The best part is that the same two "performance" artists who pissed in DuChamp's "~~Fountain~~" urinal, also had a pillow fight on Emin's bed. I could learn to like those guys.
