This year’s Turner Prize was carried off by conceptual bullshitter (Don’t you mean artist? Ed.) Keith Tyson for his work “The Stinker”.
Tyson, whom some disillusioned connoisseurs of modern art have dubbed “More con artist than artist!”, described his work as “antagonism for the embodiment of the colorectal impetus of pseudo-aesthetic conceptualism”.
In plain English – a giant suppository up the arse of his critics.
As he trousered his cheque for £20,000, Tyson cheekily suggested his winning entry would be renamed “Neo Modernistic Ancient Twine”.
Last night the modern art movement was seen to hang its head in embarassment.
