It's not only the works themselves that leave visitors wondering "What the fuck?" The accompanying info cards are head-scratchers, too. Here's what we're told about Blue Monochrome, completed by Yves Klein in 1961 (presumably about five minutes after he started):

Monochrome abstraction — the use of one color over an entire canvas — has been a strategy adopted by many painters wishing to challenge our expectations of what an image can and should represent. Klein likened monochrome painting to an "open window to freedom." He worked with a chemist to develop his own particular brand of blue. Made from pure color pigment and a binding medium, he called it "International Klein Blue." Klein adopted this hue as a means of evoking the immateriality and boundlessness that reflected his own peculiar utopian vision of the world.

So, just to be clear, use off one color over an entire canvas is a way to "challenge our expectations of what an image can and should represent." And here I thought it just just being lazy. What a peasant I am.

Other Ridiculous MoMA Works:

• Jeff Koons' Three Ball 50/50 Tank (Two Dr. J. Silver Series, One Wilson Supershot) — Three basketballs in a fish tank. I shit you not. (Click on the audio to hear how the balls being inflated is a symbol of life. So, too, must be a blow-up doll.)

• Lucio Fontana's Spatial Concept: Expectations — A mocha-colored canvas with a slash through it. Or, as I like to call it, The Bi-Racial Vagina.

Today's Web Finds:

I call it "The story of a another inner-city scumbag whose defiance against cooperative society led him to mar public and private property and landed him in the slammer."

• Central Park Is Worth $528 Billion — Or so says the Trivia section of this Wikipedia entry.
