Is it “art?” Or is it just a woman crushed by a suitcase?
The image in the ad is one of Austrian artist Erwin Wurm's "One Minute Sculptures."
Previous ads from this Standard campaign included a woman peeing on a rug. All of the ad images are from Wurm's "One Minute Sculptures" series.
Some bloggers are not happy with the latest ad.
Rosie at Make Me A Sammich says the ad "trivializes violence against women."
Daisy Egan says "it seems obvious that they don't want the business of women. Right?"
So: is it art? Or something worse?
