Are there any modern works of art that will rank with the masters in 500 years time?

 

Yes. What do we ask of artists? That they reflect their history; their own period, and their vision of the future. So I'm nominating David Hockney, for his portraiture and landscapes, and Lin Onus, who sculpted the history of abuse of native Australians and the continent, and painted the consequences.

Picasso's Guernica, not least because of its historical reference.

There will be no artists and no art in 500 years' time. All art works will have been destroyed, along with the galleries they were exhibited in. Art is a wicked, decadent wasteful pastime. If you don't believe me, talk to Michael Gove. His elegant U-turns are an artistic delight to behold.

I don't know much about art but I've often wondered: how did the pre-Raphaelites know?
