I think it is simply some art kid asshole doing petty stupid crap at the expense of others to try and get attention. Turns my stomach. The Guerrilla Girls are a good example of how to address some of the inequities in the art world, defacing paintings, not a good example, just BS. Instead of wrecking things read a book and be intelligent in your protest discourse.

I hope the right person exalts her 'expression' just like someone did with Duchamp's urinal. I hate (and love) to think that Twombly goes home every night with millions in his pocket laughing at the fools behind their backs. "All-white.. ha ha," he giggles as he nods his head in disbelief. I met a man at a gallery in Lexington who seemed to have eloped with Twombly, he loved him so much, because he had met the man, and because he was still curating a small, obscure Lexington gallery. 400 years from now, when they x-ray the layers of the Twombly paintings, they'll find his grown-up writing, not his kid babble, shining through the layers, explaining his implicit cynicism.
