Christie's crows that this sale has been «curated» by an in - house person
named Loic Gouzer and that it seeks to
represent «the gritty and underbelly - esq [sic] side of Contemporary Art... tough,
controversial... built around a mood and an atmosphere... to convey the darker side of what art can be.»
This
name change — a
controversial idea currently under vigorous and passionate international debate — would
represent a formal recognition and acknowledgement of what Burtynsky, Baichwal and de Pencier call the «human signature» on the planet.
