The fantastic Tumblr Great Art in Ugly Rooms, which I’ve posted about in the past, has been around over a year now. I like to go back a visit every so often to see what they’ve been up to. If you are unfamiliar, GAIUR is literally great art photoshopped into hideous or unremarkable spaces, but with irony, wit, humor and sharp knowledge of art and the art world. Lately, they’ve starting using less familiar work to great effect. But no more words, just look (…and enjoy more here.) You may need to Google a few names, if art history wasn’t one of your strong subjects.
