Dieter Roth, A glass jar containing flies collected by the artist from his legendary work Staple Cheese (A Race), 1970
“Unfortunately Dieter Roth never made this work, it’s a fake. We bought all the stuff on the internet: an old glass jar, a vintage cork and lots of flies (yes, you can buy flies online), and sent the work to the unaware curators.”

“We wanted to make a work about Internet’s overflowing creativity vs. high art fixation with originality. We found a cat meme collage circulating online, and we ended up making this fake sculpture by art-star Maurizio Cattelan […] The piece has been exhibited at Inman Gallery Annex, in Houston, TX, for a month now as a work by Cattelan.”
