Let the above “unsold, even at a charity auction” Robert Longo dog food bowl be a warning to artists everywhere about participating in projects outside of their area of professional competence. It was the only unsold work at a charity auction for PAWS/LA, where an Ed Ruscha dog bowl sold for 27K. Longo has really managed to miss the mark in the past, but this has gotta be the worst thing he’s ever done. I’m saying that as someone who loves Longo so much that I received a Men in the Cities/American Psycho birthday cake a few years back. Why Robert, Why?
