Last night a cleaning lady in Italy confused $15,000 worth of modern art with garbage and sent it to the landfill. To be fair, it really was trash, very expensive trash, but trash all the same. So, to empathize gallery custodians everywhere who’ve made the same mistake we’ve compiled a few of our favorite piles of trash that were actually art for your viewing pleasure. Now you can just call yourslef an artistic genius instead of picking up after yourself.
