New York, NY – Local homeless man, who claimed his name to be Jesus Christ, was hailed a great artist of the 21st century Monday, after littering the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with his muck-ridden socks.
Complaints of a putrefying smell emanating from the surrounding area led police to the steps of the MET, where they found Mr. Christ asleep behind a pillar. The homeless man was asked to leave the premises, and in a fit of rage, threw his collection of socks around the entrance steps.
“It was art in the making,” said museum curator and art critic, Eli Desdle. “Multi-colored, hole-ridden socks glazed the marble steps like refugees clinging to their rafts on the high seas.”
The artistic installment was so deep that it had onlookers in tears.
“The pungent stench stung my eyes, but I couldn’t look away,” local museumgoer Stuart Young remarked.
Visitors in line to enter the museum used the opportunity to snap photos of the work, and many reached out to touch the artistic genius while police forcefully ejected him from the grounds.
Museum officials are currently scouring the streets in search of the man, prepared to give him an art contract and full access to museum space.
Says Sotheby’s art collector, Susan Wright: “We will not let this great mind go to waste.”
