The British sculptor Anish Kapoor has
defended a piece of art in the French palace of Versailles
that has been called "dirty" and "gross".
The installation, called Dirty Corner, sits in the grounds
outside the palace.
Mr Kapoor said in a French interview it signified "the
vagina of the queen coming into power" - but later said the work was open
to interpretation.
I seem to recall that after discussion of interpretation among my "art fuck" friends, they would always ask "but is it art?"
