|
Apr 07th 2015 | 4
|

|
Apr 07th 2015 | 5

Apr 07th 2015 | 18

|
Apr 07th 2015 | 70

There was no snark in my first reply |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 167

|
Apr 07th 2015 | 171

LOL |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 175

is it art tho? sounds like it was being pitched for function |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 24
|
the pitcher is a work by Kara Walker |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 29
|
and why can't art have function? |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 89

Did that guy look at you in shame before leaving? |

I was in the corner minding my business, sipping an espresso. |

|
Apr 07th 2015 | 14

Apr 07th 2015 | 68

No, no, and no! Lol No where did I say we wanted him to use it. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 22

um...yes in a showroom |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 40
|
yup, that piece used to agitate but then people get mad |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 43
|
It's not used to agitate people. It was made as art. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 55
|
This piece ALWAYS starts drama every time someone sees it. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 63
|
Exaggeration. Fair point. But if it pissed everyone off it wouldn't sell... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 67
|
so what you are saying is it sold out? |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 73
|
Oh no, I love it. I'm defending me not saying or meaning we pushed it on... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 77

but IMO you CAN be mad that it was in the mix |

Apr 07th 2015 | 86

for the record, i'm not a fan. Her stuff is bunk IMO.... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 53
|
nah, it ain't your crib and they were "hosting" him and trying |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 41
|
true...that was a bad analogy.... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 51
|
No one showed him anything. He walked around a SHOWROOM |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 48
|
I hope you realize I'm not the only one who read it this way |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 39
|
looks like her work has taken another turn |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 45
|
yeah.. I wonder how many of US are buying her art |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 47
|
probably a lot frankly |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 49
|
Yes, a lot. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 57
|
You said... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 64
|
No one suggested he USE it or purchase it for that matter |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 20
|
ah. okay. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 23
|
The confusion in this post is hilarious though LOL!! |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 27
|
Lol, it is. I'm like where did I say we wanted him to buy it? |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 28
|
thats not it |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 34
|
That's an opinion. I don't find it inflammatory and neither does my co. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 38
|
its a widely held opinion that the artist shares |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 42

It's not for shock value it's a piece for sale. We have hundred of other... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 52

this is not as simple as a Koons piece |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 84

Ma, we have a Koons piece that looks like children are eating out |

But that's art and life! Some people will get offended over the smallest... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 54
|
it is in your company's control cause you're selecting which pieces are |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 56
|
You're reaching. The showroom has EVERYTHING on display. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 58
|
you're missing the point. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 62

Kara Walker did not produce the piece to piss people off. It wouldn't se... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 65
|
w/more explanation i think displaying the piece is fine |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 82
|
Oh yea, every piece of art has a placard stating the artists name |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 60
|
I don't think it's the "smallest thing" when it's intentional |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 59
|
YOU feel it's intentionally agitating. I don't think so. **shrugs** |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 61
|
but this piece ALWAYS starts drama? |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 69
|
Exaggeration, as I said above no one would buy it if it did. |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 74
|
It doesn't piss me off... |

Apr 07th 2015 | 80

I never argued anyone's personal opinion I just simply said |

Apr 07th 2015 | 50

I appreciate the price point |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 66

i was mildly annoyed until i saw the price tag |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 71
|
my question: Y'all paid $400 for a pitcher? |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 75
|
that's why it's funny to me, lol |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 76

No... we sell the pitcher and a thousand other things. lol |

ah, gotcha. but perhaps, just perhaps he wanted to-- |

Apr 07th 2015 | 170

Well just like we can't expect him to love it, he can't expect someone |

Apr 07th 2015 | 124

i think he was offended by the room full of whites, and this pitcher |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 120

??? |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 131

i know. the pitcher has a provocative image. |

so what's the point of what you wrote |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 161

we don't really know what he was angry about... |
|
Apr 07th 2015 | 173

i think he would be less offended if he had some knowledge of the artist |

mainly because you were aware of the undercurrent then |
