![Modern Art – What a Load of Rubbish!
In 1972, Britain's Tate Gallery acquired Andre's Equivalent VIII, an arrangement of fireplace bricks. The piece
was exhibited several times without incident, but became the center of controversy in 1976 after being
featured in an article in The Sunday Times and later being defaced with paint. The "Bricks controversy"
became one of the most famous public debates in Britain about contemporary art.[10]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/modernismpp-140707081040-phpapp02/75/Modernism-pp-27-2048.jpg)
