>most famous ≠ most likable
Sure, but why would I use an obscure piece that may be likeable to critique a movement that I hate? More so, why would it be expected that I, a person who hates said movement, find a piece that I like to help people view it in the best possible light?
We should all be glad I didn't post the Wall Banana

I don't hate the photographed example, but I'm not impressed either.
I suppose when I see this I think how it'd be kinda neat to have a series of dioramas like that to display many different types of rooms from differing time periods, or interesting interior designs, but that feels more like something from a museum, than an art gallery.
It just feels like this art piece didn't push far enough.
However it does tie into another reason I'm reminded I dislike a lot of conceptual art (and contemporary art too)

Honestly, I loathed this. If I saw this in a gallery, I'd roll my eyes and swear under my breath.
It's just loud spectacle. A loud rattling of chains, a random blasting of music, it's just a sophisticated jangling of keys for the adults - who I'm sure all stroke their chins and go 'hmmm, yes we're all puppets being controlled by the whims of others, hmmm, yes yes'.
It also goes back to how I feel about art, and define it. Do either of these display the artist's skills in their craft? Did the picrel's artist build that room, or did they hire some builders to do so?
Did the Puppet Artist even make his puppet? I'm sure he probably didn't make the mechanisms and programming that control it?
It upsets me that I can't even really know who made what;
Who makes Jeff Koon's works? Because it's not him.
Who Makes Damian Hirst's works? Because it's not him.
With gone from the intimate experiences between the audience and the Artist, to not even knowing who the artist was but having the commissioner/director take all the glory...
Anyway, I think I've gone off track here, haha.
