Wow, the art world has literally become a Donald Duck cartoon!

I remember when I was a kid one of my favourite Donald Duck installations was one where Donald accidentally breaks an antique and invaluable vase, and some art people goes crazy for the shards, and so Donald launches a new career as an artist where people bring their Ming dynasty vases to him, and he goes to town on them with power tools.

I don't recall quite how it ends, but I think the trend passes and he's left with a bunch of worthless shards. I think Scrooge was angry for some reason as well...

I liked it at the time because it was such an absurd concept. Guess it wasn't nearly as absurd as I thought!
