I mean an artist like Tracey Emin or Damien Hurst are richer and some are more famous than a fine artist who use traditional media. All contemporary artists do is recycle found things, alter them or install them as they are and then call it art while painters, printmakers, sculptors and artist who do drawings spend a lot of money on art materials to produce their work which is the kind of art regular people would like to buy. No one would want to buy an installation seen in gallery exhibitions for their home or work place – we want to buy a painting, a hand made print, a drawing, a sculpture don’t we?

This November the BBC is going to challenge the concept of beauty in modern art with a new season of programmes across BBC Two and BBC Four. The Modern Beauty Season will examine the perception of beauty both in modern and classical art forms and what that means. It will look at who the new art stars are, their processes, what is being produced now, what we hang on our walls and how we define it all. The season features some of the world’s biggest names in art including: Charles Saatchi, Frank Cohen, Jack Vettriano, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Grayson Perry, Sir Anthony Caro and Whitney McVeigh, along with artists and writers: Matt Collings, Waldemar Januszczak, Roger Scruton, Sue Perkins, Gus Casely-Hayford and Ben Lewis.

An open letter to Tracey Emin: Dear Tracey, I know that you are fashionable among the rich collectors you have cultivated as ‘friends’, and I understand that you, like so many before you, are simply doing what you do to make money. But the reality is that besides this little clique of investors you aren’t fooling anyone. Your work, like so many of your YBA contemporaries, is just the rehashing of the history of art – continually recycled cliches that you steal from dead artists who often had more talent, more expressiveness, in their morning shit than you do in your entire body of work. It’s not that you make money that’s the problem, nor is it that you have made a name for yourself despite (or perhaps because) of your total lack of talent. It’s that you spout off the same rubbish you were taught in art school, that you continue to perpetuate the lie that art is something that must be taught to be understood, that there is some enigmatic deeper meaning to an unmade bed, that creativity and creation are no longer relevant to art. The banality of what you sell, the propaganda with which you make yourself richer, the idiocy of the illusion that art is anything more than experience, and the deification of artists and the objectification of their work does a disservice to the history of art and to the people who might otherwise enjoy and support those who actually are artists. I would ask you to stop, to stop hurting art in the name of money, to stop perpetuating this fallacy …

White Woman Rufus Street is pleased to present Absence of Art – White Cube GEO Street Poses (2009), the first fotoshoot outside the gallery White Cube by Bagdad Schweinelle, who is a highly insecure and almost fascist photographer born in austria and living in germany (sounds familiar). This is the advice: please don’t hurt yourself too much in trying to conquer the world with images! The fotoshoot features the artist, LC von Sukmeister, himself cast as a human figure, but with an art historical head, his poses reminding of Ben Lewis with flair and confidence. With his limbs frozen in a non-spasm not by pain nor ecstacy and his head surrounded by street sounds, large non-bejewelled London buses and Norman Fosters Swiss Re ― a nod to Tracey Emins vibra at White Cube Masons Yard― mounts this figure. Absence of Art – White Cube GEO Street Poses (2009) represents the idleness of man, here reflected in a clicking camera and documented by the Cybershot 4.1, a catalyst of modern-day wealth, vanity and video wars.
