Museum of Bad Art

The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms. "We do not tire in our efforts to bring the worst of art to the widest of audiences," reads the MOBA manifesto. At left, the piece that started it all — Lucy In the Field With Flowers, oil on canvas by Unknown, acquired from the trash in Boston. "The motion, the chair, the sway of her breast, the subtle hues of the sky, the expression on her face — every detail combines to create this transcendent and compelling portrait, every detail cries out masterpiece."
