I do believe that you are the funniest internet-person I have known.
I agree- classical forms of art shouldn't be messed with in any way. But abstract art is just that- and any abstraction extrapolated is just, Ithink, but only if the artist allows anyone else to see/experience it. And, especially if it is for sale. :) ...shhh dont be commie christina... Clearly the artist in question doesn't share my opinion otherwise this conversation wouldn't exist. And that's totally cool, too.
My favorite exhibit i can think of right now was in the whole of a room in a live gallery of the museum of contemp art in chicago, it was living art of just piles of one specific brand of candy. you could eat it. you could not. whatever you wanted. the artist replenished the supply weekly. in that room was a piece that you needed to climb a ladder almost to the ceiling to peer into a sort of redesigned slide projector to see the image. i cant remember what the picture was, but i remember the experience of eating the candy of the other art while climbing the ladder. ..hmm... [insert nostalgia induced smile representing emoticon here]
that was a nice day.
