....and why can she charge up to $1,000,000 for one of her paintings????
She has a website that is difficult to comprehend, maybe you guys will have better luck: www.momadelouvre.org
She says her art is guaranteed by the "Museum Bank"...their website looks cheesey too...
A big guady joke? A scam? Watch the flash movie on the first page...it says it all "Art as Currency!" "Let's make a deal!". Aparently she is some affluent eccentric with ties to Hollywood and access to lots of money, which enables her to churn out mounds of her particular "art". I did a search on her, her real name is Pamela Weston, and aparently Moma De Louvre is a marketing handle. She changes it it periodically. If nothing else the sites I find related to her are verbose, one site was particularly "cultish" and flighty and I got the sense that it was just a thinly disguised marketing vehicle: http://www.gracemillennium.com/spring00/Moma2.htm.
Taste wise (or considering the extreme lack thereof) I think Michael Jackson would definately be a fan.
To begin with I thought it was a spoof; some po-mo joke thing. Then I skimmed through all 19 pages of bio and felt both amused and a bit sad. The site-design is something else, I must say; pretty hard to navigate through. As for the price question; well, it´s a free world, you can put any price tag you like on your paintings. Getting someone to pay your requested price is another challenge...
