..this reminds me of a tv item about a graffiti artist: formaly sprying
the NYC metro now (still? ) an "esthablished artist", his work displayed
at Galleries. He made hughe paintings with spray canned paint, and glued
objects (trash from the street as I remember) objects to the painting and
sprayed these also. The point is that his work started to fade, and the
glued objects started to drop off, the material on which he made his
painting started to bend.
This was all accepted, and explained by the 'organic' nature of the work.
It sold for big bucks..
