Artists perform live breast milking and auction off milk for £164k in wild stunt

Two artists left their audience stunned when they performed a live breast milking and auctioned the breastmik for a staggering £164,000.

Contemperory artist duo OONA and Lori Baldwin showed up at the highly anticipated Art Basel in Miami, US, over the weekend and staged a stunt.

Videos taken by visitors at the exhibition show OONA, who covers her face in sunglasses and a black face cloth, lowering her top and milking her breast.

She said: "Do I need to be dead for this art to be valuable? Is this not art? Why does this make you so uncomfortable? Do I have to be naked?

"Is this not art? Does a breast need to be in a painting or a sculpture to be valuable?"

Lori, dressed in white, filled up a glass with breastmilk while asking the public to place a bid to buy it.

"The artist's milk starts at $10,000. Do I have a bid for $10,000?" she shouted.

After a few calls, a woman from the crowd placed a bid and the auction kicked off.

The first glass of breastmilk was sold at $64,000 (£52,000) and a second one at $200,000 (£164,000).

The pair were soon removed from the art fair and escorted by a security guard.

OONA later wrote on their joint website: "At most art fairs, bare boobs only exist in paintings – framed like dead objects.

"Here the breasts are audacious because they are attached to a living consenting body."

Lori added in their statement: "The art world's insidious underbelly determines which artists to milk and what their milk is worth.

"In 'Milking the Artist' we play with context and its relationship to value."

Their performance, however, were criticised by viewers onine as many called them "lazy artists with no real talent".

One wrote: "Anyone can be an artist nowadays, just do anything that shocks the conscience."

"This takes no skill or effort, ruining it for the REAL artists who actually have talent," a second added.
