I am bailing on you guys today to take care of some new contract negotiations. So your trip here was not entirely wasted, you might visit Mikhail Simkin's True Art, or a Fake?*, a quiz to test your knowledge of authentic abstract art.I scored 92%, but then I'm a student as well as a fan of abstract art, and recognized all but one of the real artworks. Just the Klee threw me for a loop.

I got 75%, which I think is pretty good considering how long it's been since I studied.
ReplyDeleteI got a 92% too and not because I really recognized most of the pieces except for the Rothko and the Mondrian (I thought the Klee was a Miro), but because the fakes were so monstrously ugly.
ReplyDeleteA better quiz was the one that Stephen Colbert gave to Steve Martin. That was truly fiendish.

My results were shameful!
ReplyDeleteThis one is more difficult
