    modern art ended in c 1970, you’re thinking of postmodern art

    also, postmodern art just describes a movement; only a subset of it is created with illegitimate intent.

    further, art of any era can and has been used for laundering, in the same way that mattresses or real estate may be used :)

      also after some quick googling, i learned that the taped banana artwork Comedian by Maurizio Cattelan is from 2019! it came out closer to COVID lockdown than we are now.

      idk if this was shocking to anyone else, i always pictured it as having been created in ~2009!
