ART ON TV: Bravo's 'Work of Art' Riles Up the Art World

Shortly before 10 p.m. on most Wednesdays, some two dozen artists and art aficionados can be found draped across mismatched couches in the back room of Soda, a bar in Brooklyn, N.Y., waiting for the opening credits of Work of Art to appear on a big screen. The Bravo network's latest foray into reality television, Work of Art has captivated -- in the manner of a most excellent trainwreck -- the artsy crew at Soda, which piles in to sip pints and hurl pithy observations at the screen. "This construct is so false!" one viewer exclaims, as the contestants are judged on the quality of their art -- a typical comment for the evening.
