The book is wonderful as is the museum. I'm so glad that this was compiled into a book. I'd love to see the museum. But more to the point book came in perfect condition and quickly. Thank you

The Museum of Bad Art -
Masterworks
by Michael Frank, Louise Reilly Sacco, 128 pages, size 6 x 8 inches, softcover
It's back! Out of print for
years, Museum Of Bad Art: Masterworks is available again.
The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA)
is a unique institution dedicated to the celebration of artistic effort,
however misguided. The Museum of Bad Art: Masterworks presents a
pulsating collection of more than seventy never-before-published pieces of
artwork from MOBA's permanent collection. Comprised largely of canvases found
discarded on curbside trash piles or obtained for a pittance at thrift stores,
this innovative compilation occupies a niche previously ignored in the
international community of art collection, preservation, and interpretation. If
the subjectivity of art appreciation were ever in doubt, this astonishing
assortment of artistic commentaries will fan the flames of controversy. It is
clear that many of these artists suffered for their art; now it's your turn.
-
A
photographic catalog of 70 exquisitely bad pieces of master artwork from

an Egyptian; Bone-Juggling Dog in Hula Skirt; Alien Adam and
Eve; Lulli, Fowl and Gravestone; and the
ever-troubling Spewing Rubik's Cubes.
