This is some sort of sick joke, right?

mousepod, your point about the Shag map is well taken. Of course, the $400 one is a wall map. But let's assume the same map, sold in small size, is $80. Its value is clearly greater than that of the free turnstile-crossing map because it is designed by a famed artist, whose style is appreciated by the buyer.

zapppop is right about the rhinestone-encrusted $2 Target T. That's not art (in our opinion), while Shag's map is.

By all means, let's have different opinions about what is art, what is not, what is stylish, and what is foolish. We may all be cool folks, but when our opinions do not differ about anything ... discussion gets pretty boring.
