Abstract
I report the results of the test, where the takers had to tell true masterpieces of abstract art from the fakes, produced by me. I describe each picture by the fraction of the test takers, who selected it as a masterpiece. When I compare the pictures using this metric, they show no stratification between masterpieces and fakes. This suggests that they are of about the same quality.
