Ned noticed our error as soon as we started our shift. We could be fired over a cock-up like this, and although I hate art, I need this job. We had to rectify it, and quickly. But before we could distract the curator, the gallery’s biggest patron cornered him three feet from the exhibit, where patrons collected to declare:
“Such a daring statement about race.”
“It triggers the viewer’s imagination.”
“Genius.”
“A stark warning about capitalism.”
During a break for the speaker, I moved to turn it right side up. Ned shook his head. The painting sold for a quarter million.
Made me smile. A great little tale
Hilarious!
Enjoyed it. Is this Art week?
Terrific! Like the surprise ending.
An error that worked in their favour. Nice one.
Loved it ???
Lovely story… reflects how art is view from different perspectives… nice ending… well done…
… in the eye of the beholder…. great ending!
Enjoyed this – especially as I suspect it has a ring of truth to it and loved the pretentious statements when clearly no-one has a clue.
This is great! Thanks for the laugh!
