Monkeys Fist 38822 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Mrs. Fist asked me earlier, "If you could own one piece of art, purely for aesthetic reasons, what would it be?". Got me thinking, so I'm throwing it out to all the Brian Sewell's on here My initial choice was this; Doesn't have to be a painting btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Michaelangelo's David. Although that might be a bit impractical, so I'll go for the roof of the Sistine Chapel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My facetious comment aside, that would actually be my choice! (Although it's massive isn't it (I've seen a replica in the museum in Barcelona) probably just as practical as having David in my front room. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene_Clark 12 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Undoubtedly "Puppy" by Jeff Koons, which stands outside the Guggenheim in Bilbao. I saw it last summer when on holiday in Euskadi and the playful enormity of this piece just manages to shade the entire "Dirty Word Pictures" by Gilbert & George.

Monkeys Fist 38822 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Good thread. Mines actually a piece of advertising: I love that era of advertising, and I would class them as art, without a doubt. Undoubtedly "Puppy" by Jeff Koons, which stands outside the Guggenheim in Bilbao. I saw it last summer when on holiday in Euskadi and the playful enormity of this piece just manages to shade the entire "Dirty Word Pictures" by Gilbert & George. Baixar Shep!

PaddockLad 14627 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Alan Shearer, acrylic on canvas I like that who's the artist? John Lennon's picture of George Robledo scoring the winner in the 1952 FA Cup final....No9 is Jackie Milburn....it appeared as the cover of Lennon's Walls & Bridges album in the 1970s, and he also released a single from it called "no 9 dream" " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Why get a boner over men kicking a plastic ball of air? Why drool over the latest Aston Martin? Why bother going to school at all? What's the point of reading a book? Kevin, if you keep up such a closed minded attitude, you'll be a burger flipping Morlock for the rest of your life.
