I only got 25 percent correct, and I personally think 99.9 percent of "modern" "art" sucks.

chimpo do you really follow modern art (or classical, for that matter) enough to justify a statement like that?

for that matter, does a dude who's been dead for about 15 years even qualify as a modern artist?

Your score is 75%

Take that!

I have no clue who Donald Judd is. I just went through and picked him for anything that looked like it was made from solid wood pieces, and "cheap" for everything particle board looking or made out of metal. Finished solid wood furniture has been expensive for pretty much my whole lifetime. The Ikea look, defined by artsy furniture made from crappy materials, is easy to spot. I'm pretty sure at least that stool is from there.

Oh, and also I figured any chairs missing arms must be "art".

50% here. Since my furniture consists of anything that doesn't biodegrade in my filthy apartment, I'm very surprised by my score.

[Soul Queen]

I got 75% also.
I totally BS the whole thing. Mostly along the lines the Paul took.

a clue from one of my buddies. I tried it and got a hundred percent:

"100%. It’s pretty easy if you look at the context clues in the background / environment. It’s pretty apparent all of the Donald Judd pieces are sitting in some kind of gallery / exhibit whereas the cheap furniture images are obviously pulled from websites selling the stuff (all of them have pure white backgrounds, with the exception of the image of the table with the rug — a catalog giveaway)."
