I found this blog when looking for images of Duchamp<\/a> and decided to copy and post it here. It links to my \u2018Vandalising Rothko\u2019 <\/a>piece and at the time I had no idea what Yellowism was! I found it very interesting so I reposted it in full. It is clear that Vladimir Umanets was very influenced by Duchamp. I want to make it clear that I do not necessarily agree with what’s written here, I’m not sure I can even understand it! However, I believe that Umanets was motivated by a strong force and the question “What Is Art For?” is still a valid pursuit. He showed courage and commitment to do what he did but I’m not convinced by his philosophy at this stage.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s an interesting post from Interdome about the treatment of Umanets i.e. giving him a two year prison sentence for defacing the Rothko:<\/p>\n

As a case study, let\u2019s look at Ai\u2019s\u00a0Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn<\/em>.<\/p>\n
