Thinking of the world of art and of New York City art galleries seldom brings to mind ideas of creating a reality based television show but we learn that even in that lofty world there can be plenty of politics, intrigue, and sleazy dealings going on. The artists involved in Work of Art must create art in some form or other and that may include the use of discarded old electric appliances to be formed into sculptures. The sculpture must in some way represent the artists personality or inner self. Contestants vary each week as to age and amount of artistic experience they have had. Simon de Pury, the host of an arts auction house will stop in to encourage the contestants and critique the work so far. Renowned artist Jon Kessler has appeared as guest judge and also gives some sage advice.
How will models posing in the nude affect the show next? Will the contestants be distracted or will the judges themselves forget why they are there? This just might be the “shot in the arm” the program needs to liven up the series!
