What is the worst piece of art you have you ever seen?


In any medium.

Can't remember the exact title but it was similar to " Something in a snowstorm".

I could see the paint layers but pass the artistic process, the movement and everything else, deep down I couldn't (and still can't) believe a museum paid big bucks for white paint on a white canvas.

It's subjective. I don't really think there is a "bad piece of art", it's mostly what I don't like which doesn't mean it's bad just that it's not to my taste.

Well, yes but you can just pick whatever you disliked the most.

But that wouldn't be the "worst piece of art", it would simply be the piece I "disliked the most". I don't believe any art is "bad".

I had exactly this discussion with our art history professor a few months back. Her view, after over 40 years lecturing about it, is that: "Some art is just better than some other art". I basically agree, and I find a mixed exhibition of undergraduate work to be a fine example of this. Some of it is just tripe. e.g. one of our students has done (serious) illustrations for Game of Thrones that are just terrible.
