In 1993, some American researchers did some…research. They asked 1001 Americans what their views were of “good art”. A bit like what market researchers here do with ads and the like. Recruit people in a caravan at a shopping mall – you know how it works. Anyway, based on this insightful information, Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid created the perfect painting.
It’s a painterly landscape featuring George Washington, a strolling family, deer and a bellowing hippo. And yeah, it’s as nasty as it sounds. You don’t want to see it.

Luke Sullivan likes hippos, if his taste in type is anything to go by – every Gellin McFaggot Minneapolis ad from the ’80s had big, pachydermous helvetica bold condensed type that would make hippos look emaciated – and thus kinda sexy…Try and out-geek that.
