Artistic Genius or Artist's Nightmare?
From this morning's paper:
Juan Montoya created a piece of “art” by hanging a canvas he painted with Benjamin Moore’s Big Country Blu8e over an ample sofa. One visitor to the room asked if the painting was by Barnett Newman,” he said. Nobody knows it didn’t come from a gallery.” Mr. Montoya used a 6 by 12 foot canvas; a 24 by 48 inch canvas, sized to fit a less cavernous room, is about $36 at dickblick.com.
