The shower curtains are just an abstraction of one of the most important of Pollock's
many paradoxically intrinsic metaphors. While I'm not sure what the fuck it was, I do know that
most forensic experts involved in the determination of authenticity of art works refuse to come
anywhere near a Pollock painting because it's impossible to tell the 'real' ones from the 'fakes'.
P.S. There was this guy I knew in Washington D.C. who claimed he was a fake artist and
set up a street display of fake art called "Amalgam's Conceptual Concrete". There were no
end of people who got into fierce arguments with him claiming he was a real artist who
was intentionally misrepresenting himself to gain notoriety.
