As such I always think that Bed has more in common with Van Gogh's (admittedly superior) Chair.

I actually went to see this piece of "art"
Lets examine it for what it is
A child like drawing of a chair with a wonky leg
Now, lets examine the works off Titian, Tintoretto, or even the works of Hieronymus Bosch
All technically superior to the wonky chair and the unmade bed
All works of art, just some of them are shit works of art
You can be the judge of which is which
