The Art Crisis

What is the Art Crisis? I haven't the faintest, but this picture which i found on the web is quite interesting. Perhaps this picture was photoshopped, but it is hard to tell. It just looks too precise to be cut from a think book. It would be an interesting piece to turn books into what they personify, like war and peace into a gun shape? or perhaps a piece sign. A band saw would actually do a pretty good job of cutting a percise line through a book. I can just picture it now.. a series of diet books cut into steaks and desserts.
