If I get a bunch of chimps to paint "abstract art"...?



I get a bunch of chimps to paint "abstract art".
I make up a french name for the "artist"
I open a gallery in some cheap retail space - serve a lot of brie and white wine.
I get a bunch of shills to buy my "art" at for thousands of dollars.
I refund the money to my shills minus the tax burden incurred.
I recruit a shill in the media to review my "art"
I wait until the general public starts paying those same high prices and me and my shills split it and LIVE LARGE.

Just a fantasy. Think it will work?

Sadly, yes.

On a side note, you made my morning ;)
It's worked for me, my crew calls it routine six!
I am sick of pointless 'abstract' art and I am someone who appreciates the talent of Jackson Pollock. A black stripe of ink across cheap manila paper, unframed, for $600 is not art. The galleries still devalue landscapes in oil and watercolour. I am not surprised that folk art, cartoons, fashion design, photography, ceramics and graffiti art are innovative. Painting needs to evolve and yet, embrace the past. Camille Pissarro, Mark Chagall, Paul Cezanne, Andy Warhol, Tamara de Lempicka, etc...
