It was pun felipe, not a very good one it has to be said- infact I had already removed it by the time you posted your response.

..Hatred in the form of anti Catholicism is on display here. There is no link between beatification and money. If Mr. Cooper can document otherwise, he should. This is an example of elitist media double standards. Mr. Cooper would not have the cajones to suggest that the holocaust has a financial angle though innumerable lawsuits argue otherwise. As it took Saint Fabiola 1,329 years to be acknowledged as a saint, a purchase seems to be a bit of a stretch. Mr. Cooper should have highlighted the display without malice.

Well, that isn’t the artist describing the work, it’s the art critic of the LA Times. If the artist had made all the copies herself, the end product would be pointless.

When did art stop being about making stuff and start being about describing zero effort work as pretentiously as possible? “An analog exploration of digital experience” is the one phrase you are guaranteed to read in every first-year Time Based Media paper at any sufficiently crap art school.

Is “beautification” an intentional, jocular, typo?
