Swiss comedian and experimental artist, Ursus Wehrl, in his “Tidying Up Art” series, reorganizes famous paintings, stacking up their elements by size, color or form, or by otherwise sorting out the unbearable mess of modern art.

He tries to make us believe he is doing the original artists a favor by organizing them. His TEDx talk video is funny and excruciating.
