That description is pathetic. It is the perfect example of the typical St. Louisan's "Where did you go to high school? My town is better than yours." attitude. And the vast majority of art is of no or very little value to anyone or anything. It's in the eyes of the beholder really, but I don't see the benefit from most of it.
And I offer this art perspective in the same spirit as his disgusting comments about my hometown.
