Hai.. caramba, Saatchi Gallery!
Brancusi furat de Saatchi Gallery
Publicat de Andrei Bădin
Va indemnam acum cateva zile sa il votati pe Constantin Brancusi in topul propus online de Saatchi Gallery din Marea Britanie. Semnalam atunci ca Romania este reprezentata de Constantin Brancusi(aflat pe locul I, la diferenta mare fata de locul II) si de pictorul Victor Brauner. Peste noapte lucrurile s-au schimbat. Brancusi a ajuns de pe locul 1 pe locul x si din voturile sale o mare parte au disparut. Ciudat si, mai ales, imoral, ca o mare casa de arta sa se preteze la astfel de afaceri necurate. Reiau, in continuare, un protest al lui Valentin Nas adresat casei de arta londoneze. Va sugerez, sa faceti la fel ca Nas, deoarece cateva mii de voturi nu pot dispare pur si simplu peste noapte. Nu e vorba numai de imaginea unui mare artist roman, ci de o escrocherie pe net demonstrabila:
Dear Sir/Madame,
Exactly one week ago, on March 15, I visited http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artvote/ and voted for Constantin Brancusi, the great Romanian artist and father of abstract sculpture who led the way for modernist sculptors. At that time, Brancusi was the first in your Top 500 with 20,510 votes. He was almost 7,000 votes ahead of Egon Schiele on the second place, who was followed closely by Picasso, Cézanne, Monet…
Two days later I was surprised to see that Brancusi had fallen on 10th place, and his votes had miraculously decreased with about 10,000. I see now that Constantin Brancusi is on 22nd place in your so-called Top, with a total of 15,497 votes.
