And this is why comics seeking museum validation is pretty questionable as a proof of intellectual value. Raises the price of the work though. This one was sold for 100 thousand bucks in 2008... Even taking as a joke, is it any more clever than Crumb? No, it is not. In some ways I would say the museum appropriation actually DIMINISHES the punch the work would have in another environment. Actually goes to the same dead end than some of Banksys work. NOTHING ELSE is more ready to incorporate criticism and turn into product to perpetuate themselves than art galleries and museums. So criticizing art galleries / museum scene while being a part of them is pointless and fatally hypocritical. It is an ouroboros thing, whatever you throw at them feeds them. You have problems with that you should go somewhere else. Artist gets way more focusing on social and political issues that he is personally invested on. moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=80768
