I always try to leave a note for the image that I rated highly that finished lowest in the voting, and in this challenge this entry has that dubious distinction.

I think you were done in by the voter's notion of "fine". I could easily see this being hung in a modernist museum, with its spiraling questions of how an image represents reality, how letters and symbols stand for a concrete objects, how pigment on paper comes to take on the meaning of a depicted object, and how labels themselves shift our understanding of an object. It just goes 'round and 'round. Ouroboros eating his own tail.

Plus the image itself is just eccentric fun.

Congratulations, and Im sorry.

It is what it is what it is. Beautifully obvious.

No, no, no... not "conceptual" art. FINE art.

LOL!

While I think this plaque is hilarious, and might enjoy seeing the item itself hung in an exhibit, I don't find a photograph of it at all appealing, nor do I consider the photograph to be a contribution to fine art. Just my personal take on this, of course.

Strikes me as a self-referential work, a commentary on its own existence. A mundane photo of the mundane postmodern piece. Are criticisms of criticisms empty?
