Roberta Smith

Art critic from NYT has article, very much echoes my sentiments about the gimicky abundance of everyday-object-art (to be polite).

"Lack of utility and rarefied exquisiteness are seen as the shortest paths to being art. Astounding feats of technical skill result, often accompanied by a weakness for all things trompe l’oeil.
This is not so much art or craft as acrobatics."
