It's ironic they thought the art was ironic.
It's ironic they thought the art was ironic.
Museum curators, art collectors and the tragically hip's heads are spinning. Until last month the work of artist Charles Krafft was considered darkly ironic or ironic satire. His pieces often featured Nazi iconograpgy or weapons, such as these:
Turns out the artist is anti-semitic, a white separatist, nazi death camp denier, etc. His fans were misinterpreting the works. Now people who own his pieces are deciding what to do with them. Some members of the public, myself included, are laughing at them just as we've been laughing at such people for years. It's never been clear to me how one could believe that ironically liking some crappy thing was completely different than liking that same crappy thing.
