Pompous art experts were tricked into critiquing a €10 IKEA painting

We’re mortified for all involved.

ART IS CERTAINLY not an exact science, and this proves it.

The pranksters over at lifehunterstv had a brilliant plan: bring a cheap IKEA painting into an art gallery, set it up beside the actual expensive art and get some people to give their opinions on it.

The results are just perfect:

Of course, the piece was by famous artist Ike Andrews so it had to be quality
