Who is the Worst Artist of All Time?

One could say that this video nitpicks certain Fabro works and is not representative of his entire artistic carreer. In that assumption they'd be correct.I highly suggest looking into Fabro, as he may have a piece that you strongly connect with.

On that note, who is YOUR "worst artist"?And don't just say "the worst artist is someone forgotten for they wouldn't be remembered if they were good" , actually give a real name.Let's see who is genuinely the most hated.For scientific purposes only.

I have actually teared-up in the Rothko Chapel at the Menil, in Texas. And in front of more than one big canvas by Ad Reinhardt. And a sculpture by Anish Kapoor. It's not that I'm some weepy soy-boy or anything, it's just that standing alone in a room with some works of art can have the same effect (on some people) as standing in front of a stained glass window in an ancient cathedral, or visiting the Blue Grotto on Capri.

My "Bottom 10" of artists today who could vie for the title of "worst artist"
Mark Kostabi
Julian Schnabel
Richard Prince
Robert Gober
Tracy Emin
George Condo
Paul McCarthy
Stuart Semple

Close, but the correct answer was Mr. Brainwash and there is a documentary to back that up.

I must say, I absolutely love the way you define bad art

Dude im literally right here wdym its a different person

Andy warhol is worse

Nonetheless, the worst artist, is banksy, at least for me, by the same means of that it tries to be x and fails miserably, trying to be underground art, he sold his soul to corporations

i feel like you didn't hold Rothko up to your own standard of "does what it sets out to accomplish". Hirst's piece despite being low effort does a great job of conjuring up the title in the viewers mind. Rothko is not only low effort, but also boring.

Rothko is my favorite artist, in the sense that he able to distill complex ideas, emotions and feelings into arguably their simplest form. To elicit emotion in such an efficient way is to me the essence of what ‘good’ art is.

You like art that looks like shit. I’d rather have motel art in my house than the “art” you like

first sane man from the balkans 🤩🤩

Black on gray did make me tear up... then I read what it was and I wept...

Im generalizing about all artists in general, the worst ever in my opinion is Yoko Ono. Cringe didn't exist, until the moment someone slid a microphone in front of her.

Hmmm, I kinda get where you were coming from talking about Rothko, but I really couldn´t feel much of anything from his images. I´m sad that he killed himself, but that doesn´t make his art good in my oppinion. Kinda feels like the only value in the piece is feeling pity for him. I´ve also experienced depression multiple times, but if I put those feelings into a canvas, I wouldn´t consider it good art. His first two artworks you depicted are cute, I guess, but without context I wouldn´t even understand what that 2nd one was supposed to be (I can barely discern the shape of a busty woman and the rest is scribbles). It´s just my personal opinion tough, but I really can´t relate to/feel anything from most art like his.

The worst artist, to me at least, is probably Jeff Koons. It’s not so much the artworks themselves that I find distasteful (they don’t have any intrinsic emotional impact for me), but the mindset behind their creation. Koons seems just as emotionally detached from the work as I would be, and only views them as financial tools for himself and whatever rich dullard buys them.

Nah comics get worse

Thanks for purposely misconstruing the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres. This level of intellectual bankruptcy will make you really popular with certain...groups.

Just because you're too stupid to comprehend an artists work or intent, doesn't mean there isn't one.

I thought I was the worst artist in the universe.

I think the guy actually has some pretty good ideas. The idea of a sculpture that, due to how it's constructed, bends and warps over time is a pretty neat idea. He just does it so poorly.

is this loss?

this had me taking notes

the whiplash i had suddenly hearing kanye's Never See Me Again

Kind of bonkers that there was that segment about people not crying at Rothko’s work when the painting made for his daughter made me cry 😭

Check out the Museum of Bad Art for an everflowing Cornucopia of subjectively bad Art.

Not one made me feel anything at all...dead inside i guess...🍻

The worst artist is someone no one has ever heard of

every frankfuck takes the 2nd spot for the worst artist, because they're too shit to be no.1 at anything

There is not survey to prove it, but it is likely that the majority of people who cry over 20th century paintings are pronoun people

Warhol. /shrug I don't care if he achieved his intent.

Why the hell are you censoring 'gay'? Do you live in Florida?

The worst art i ever saw was in an airport. There was a “gallery” where you could buy paintings. Not all were absolutely horrible, only most of them.

They were bland cookie cutter paintings that were made to be sold, and mostly reminded me of what high schoolers in my school did for art classes. Trying desperately to seem deep without actually knowing how to get there or what the deep thing they trying to reach for even is.
The only emotion they invoked in me was “damn they are really doing it just for the money”

Me, god damn i suck at art

Did you censor the word 'gay' what the absolute fuck dude

I appreciate how by using the worst artist you proved modern art to be the scam it is.

I think the best way to figure out what bad art is to define what is good art.

The qualities of good art is that it is aesthetically, technically, or thematically impressive. It needs to be at least two of the three things.

In that sense any art can be good regardless the medium or weather it or contempory or what have you.

The painting made by the man who commutted suiced not long after he paints it could be considered good art, because while not techincally impressive it certainly has an aesthetic appeal that compliments the theme its trying to go for.

The Sistiene Chapel is good art because it meets all three catgories.

The one where its just a metal pole and you need to do mental gymnastics to justify it is bad art because its not technically impressive, not aesthetic, and the 'meaning' behind it is pretentious as hell.

Carroll Dunham?

I went to the Rothko chapel and couldn't help but laugh at the people in sad deep meditation...........hilarious.

Great video! Havent seen anything like it. Love it

Never heard of fabro but I definitely see your point, it doesn’t say as much as the others. Simplicity doesn’t have to come with aesthetic to create a deep impact. I could see it as something a person buys to keep in their house bc it looks nice but not bc it makes them feel anything

Thank god it's not me.

The piles of candy, when presented, are said to be the weight of the artist's beloved when he was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

I'm all here for Adolf Loos slander!!!

Wow i really enjoyed it man, it was thought provoking, engaging, intelligent and accessible. Incredibly well done!

"paper shredded is an art"
Ah YES i am something of an TURD connoisseur myself!

Duchamp is at least whimsical. If someone has wackyness like "Fountain" or "Wheel" in their place they're probably nice folks with a sense of humor. Fabro's work is like taking a simple song that people know and love and playing it on out-of-tune metal pipes til it lacks all charm.
