Well Physics and Biology are the greatest at sculpture and art.Geology too.Look at the Grand Canyon.It's a terrific work of art all controlled by scientific principles.

It may contain a treasure trove of Picassos but few have ever explored the riches in the Geneva free port art storage site.
|
Quote:
The Geneva free port is, from the exterior, a rather unimpressive warehouse in an industrial area of the city.
Inside, it is said to house the largest collection of fine art anywhere in the world, although it is hard to find out exactly what is in there, as both the port's management and local customs officials refuse to divulge any information.
|
Quote:
It is estimated there are at least 300 works by Picasso alone stored at the free port, many belonging to the reclusive Nahmad family, who have been buying and trading art as an investment for half a century.
The pieces they own are rarely seen in public although Zurich's museum of modern art did persuade the Nahmads to lend some of them for an exhibition in 2011.
One Nahmad family member has been quoted as saying that "Monet and Picasso are like Microsoft or Coca Cola", meaning that they are likely to be safe investments for a long time to come.

All those works of art that no one can see or appreciate..Sigh!

“The Good Samaritan” and “Christ at the Pool of Bethesda” are just two of almost 212,000 oil paintings in Britain that have been photographed and put online in a comprehensive project designed to make the country a cultural pioneer of the digital age.
The project, a collaboration that began in 2003 between the Public Catalogue Foundation and the BBC, aims to record all oil paintings owned by the nation “irrespective of perceived quality and condition.” That means everything from recognized masters in famous London galleries to the work of a councilman in a town in Somerset who painted his colleagues.

Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
There is a long history of cats and dogs being used in art with the artist often parodying human behavior to bring humour to their work.
For example The Bachelor Party... by Louis Wain.
and Waterloo… by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge
Neither works were accepted at the time as being 'serious' pieces of Art but are accepted as such now. The same with many LOLcats creations now which only goes to show that art does not need to be serious or involve paint on canvas.
