It's not even that messy.

"My Bed," auctioned for the first time, was sold by the Saatchi Gallery Collection.

Fifteen years ago, the startlingly human elements of the work, which includes discarded condoms and stained sheets, caused a sensation, raising questions about what was and was not art.

YUCK~! Just more proof that some people have more dollars than cents.

I can't see the condoms. She is certainly tidy with her mess.
