What we perceive as work of art; Four years ago, at Art Basel Miami Beach 2019, o Maurizio Cattelan taped a banana to a wall and sold it for $120,000 (before someone ate it). Now, something similar happened in her Oakland New Zealand: The Australian artist Matthew Griffin ordered one Mcdonald hamburgerentered the Michael Lett Gallery, took out a pickle from his burger and threw her to the ceiling as an exhibit. The gallery informed that the public artwork it costs NZ$10,000 (about US$6,300).
The gallery representing the artist – Fine Arts, Sydney – describes the trick as a “sculpture”, which was on display at the New Zealand art gallery until July 30. It is branded ‘Pickle’ and forms part of an exhibition of works by artists represented by Fine Arts, Sydney at the invitation of Michael Lett. The exhibition presented for the first time new works by four artists that touch on the themes of transience, distance and time; throwing a pickle at the ceiling is an example of ‘distance’.
The text written by Fine Arts, Sydney on the “Pickle” Instagram post notes that this is not a prank and also disclosed the ingredients of the McDonald’s hamburger. Reactions were mixed although someone commentedI got kicked out of a McDonald’s by the police for doing this when I was a teenager. Now, it’s art”. However, speaking to the British newspaper The Guardian, the director of Fine Arts, Sydney, Ryan Moore, emphasized that he does not think twice about characterizing Griffin’s work as art, stating that in general the role of artists is to create and do things, not to decide whether something is art or not.
