10 reasons to be suspicious of contemporary art

1.    It's big and shiny.
2.    It's just talking to itself while you stand there and watch.
3.    It needs a crutch of words to help it out.
4.    It has no sticking power.
5.    Once you've seen, you've seen it.
6.    It leaves you with superficial questions, not deep ones.
7.    The artist's signature is more important that the art itself.
8.    It's just visual comfort food.
9.    It comes as no surprise.
10.  It's essentially branded.
