Sunset over the Winter Forest - 1881 by Heinrich Gogarten
Priceless! Jupiler is a bloody good pint anâ all! 
I have always wanted to see/make a gallery exhibition of carefully handcrafted electrical fittings, so people can be confused by an ostensibly empty room
That might be just one step away from this
Which definitely is art.
I was once involved in making some ceiling lights change colour at the ICA. But that even more definitely was art because it also involved a machine on display which, if they fiddled with it, could easily have taken members of the publicâs fingers off. There were also other artworks in the same room
Eloise was the artist - the brains behind the project - but she wasnât an electronics/electrical enginer or an Arduino programmer (or, for that matter, a lighting rigger or a welder).
First you must have the ideaâŚ
Yes. In fact thatâs all you really need as long as you have, or can raise, the resource (basically the money) to buy all the craft in.
Was thinking more of Cy Twombly. Saw some of his bronze sculptures that were clearly made if bits of old junk, then cast in bronze, then paintes to look like bits of old junk. You can imagine his dealer saying âThese sculptures made out of bits of old junk are all very well, Cy, but I canât sell them to my collectors. Why donât weâŚâ
Like that, a lot.

The huge wall piece for the âBurden of Proofâ section
summarises the rest of the works
and will be washed off when the exhibition ends. The man one from the right gave âexemplaryâ service in the Royal Artillery, but Theresa May and her ghouls decided that it was up to him, and all the others pictured, to prove that he had the right to remain in the UK.
Similarly affecting was the collection based on the numerous yellow stop-and-search dockets issued to her son.
I love the photorealism art

Suspect @MonitorGold10 Stu will be making a bid to add to his Tiger collection.
Donât get carried-away pricewise if youâre serious: not saying this is in any way sketchy (impossible to tell from pics), but not only was Laliqueâs name and style revived in the 1980s onwards for official but machine-made mass-produced pieces, but both original and modern designs were heavily faked in China from the 90s onwards.
Auction houses are a major clearing-house for fake goods as they have no obligation to ensure authenticity and no liability: caveat emptor.
Yes you do need to tread very carefully when looking at Lalique. Iâve asked the auction house for provenance from the seller (but with little expectation).
I hope you asked with an appropriately haughty accent.
