Art Hoax is written for anybody who might wonder why unlikely objects in today's world are called artand sometimes valued at extraordinarily high worth.This is an honest argument claiming the world has been duped by dealers in art, art galleries,art museums and on occasions, even artists.Presented here in illustrated form from hand cut and pasted original collages by Geoff Todd, Art Hoax proposes that theevidence of the artist's hand in art is not something to hide, nor something to cause embarrassment,but rather something of which to be proud.All quotations are from real people - living or dead - and attributions to any quotations are withinthe text for the sceptics and academics who might wish to verify them. The argument is very short, so readers who are not interested in a large tome arguing points of aesthetics,art and concept, may find this book as an alternative half-hour read, which will equip them for an exciting dinner table debate.
