IT’S art which is bound to raise a few eyebrows and be a talking point.
A pile of bricks which sold in the Seventies for more than £2,000 is coming to Huddersfield Art Gallery.
Sculptor Carl Andre made the art world sit up when he arranged a pile of bricks at the Tate Gallery.
Now Huddersfield’s madcap inventor Wilf Lunn has created his own cheeky interpretation – made of biscuits.
Andre’s rival is on show at the West Yorkshire Print Workshop in Mirfield.
Art can be many things to many people.
Some will be impressed by Andre’s pile of bricks and see it as imaginative, some may see it as nonsense and think they can do better.
Others may criticise Lunn’s homage to what is now seen as an art world classic.
Whatever you think, art should be interesting, different and fun.
Curators at both galleries want their exhibits to pull in people to have a look.
And they’re going to poke at our thoughts, emotions and make us question what art is to get us in there.
Bricks or biscuits may not be your cup of tea, but its art which certainly sells.
