Another test for art was proposed by one of my tutors. He called it the rubbish-dump test. You should place the artwork being tested on to a rubbish dump and it only qualified if a passer-by spotted it and wondered why an artwork had been thrown away.

But of course many good artworks would fail this test because the rubbish dump itself might be the artwork.

In 1960 Jean Tinguely made a piece called Homage to New York, which was this big metal mechanical sculpture that self-destructed itself into a load of scrap. Many artists use destruction. So it’s not the most reliable test, but I do like it.
