ebay as art: A Metal Crown Graphic

Richard Knoppow wrote: "Nicholas O. Lindan" wrote in message Is it outsider art? Is it just a bad dream? Estimated to go for -whaaat-? http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/20-...06003320QQrdZ1 I actually saw the all metal crown graphic on another website when Google-ing around for parts for my Graphic View, it was actually used by some photographer at some time and isn't "just" a piece of found art. It's a piece of 'found art' now: the seller is an art & antiques gallery. As art it is worth far more than it ever was as "just" a camera. As a working camera it's a disaster. I'm sure someone loved it -- one can find someone to love anything; The gallery is sure hoping so. The original questions was "outsider art" - not "found art": was it made to be art? One needs to discriminate found art, found object art, art to be found, outsider art and bad art. found art: the seminal Duchamp's urinal (ooooh, _very_ bad pun) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/entertainment/4059997.stm Photography is a form of found art where the artist takes a mechanical visual reproduction of the found object and not the object itself. found object art: arraigned collections, weldments, collage.. http://arts.ucsc.edu/sesnon/exhibiti...odwetrust.html art to be found: only since the 60's, might have been the drugs http://www.found-art.com/index.php outsider art: the more decrepit the artist the more valuable the work; often judged by psychiatrists rather than art critics. Many variations http://www.artbrut.com/ bad art: what more can one say... http://www.museumofbadart.org/ -- Nicholas O.

1) DAGOR77: Jim is traveling at the end of April per earlier auctions
in the month. Another seller, maybe Dr. Tooth? actually admitted to emulating DAGOR77's writing style, but while he has some nice items, he lacks the same panache...maybe with time . 2) J&C: I haven't verified in the last month, but J&C closed due to "circumstances beyond their control" and relocating to Las Vegas or elsewhere in Nevada. They estimated they will be open in September. Meanwhile, I found that Digital Truth is now selling some of the same sheet film products J&C were (minus the J&C labeled products). Murray |

The objective was to mount a new objective in the mount for an old brass objective to overcome the objections of the Current Significant Other by claiming the resulting object to be an objet d'art for the decoration of the house.

So rather than lose the advantage of a modern shutter, have one lens for display and one (or more) for shooting. It's a _lot_ easier to hide a lens than a 4x5 (or 8x10") camera. Here's a shot of mine with the 180mm Nikkor mounted on the wooden lens board: http://www.nikonians.org/dcforum/Use...1b48aea209.jpg -- Michael Benveniste -- Spam and UCE professionally evaluated for $419.
