“The premier collection of good art done bad.”

January 5th, 2008 thriftstorelove Posted in Art No Comments »

Huge Magazine’s Thrift Store Art Gallery features “bad” art found in thrift stores. They call it The premier collection of good art done bad. The pieces in the PSB Gallery of Thrift Store Art have been displayed in different galleries across the country and earned their collector many interviews. The big question seems to be, does this stuff count as art? Are people genuinely interested in it, or just paying attention because they think of it as a joke? We know our opinion, but what’s yours?

From the PSB Gallery. We can’t see what’s “bad” about this one. That lil guy looks like he’d make a great friend.

From the PSB Gallery. Pretty disproportionate, but we dig the yellow shorts.
