On his blog, Jerry Saltz calls this week’s episode of Work of Art “Elimination Heartbreak.” Yes, Jerry, I know you were heartbroken because the artist you had pegged to win the whole thing was sent a-packin’.

But before I spoil the whole episode, let’s recap, shall we?

This week’s episode was all about shameless promotion of the show’s sponsor car, Fiat. It’s kind of artsy and cute and British, so if you pretend you’re an artist, you’ll think you should buy this car now. If you’re really an artist, you won’t be able to afford the car, but only the car’s parts, which is what they give the contestants this week.

An added bonus:$25,000 buckaroos so the winner can enter the Fiat dealership in fancy shoes. I like the added bonus of the big money this season. You can see the starving artists drooling over it. I’m sort of sad that they don’t have one anti-capitalist standout that says his artwork can’t be monetized, screw the man, corporate greed, etc…but maybe if you’re like that you don’t appear on a reality show. But I doubt it.

After an interim period of melting waxes and putting plastic on their faces, the artists have to exhibit their work. China Chow enters the gallery in a short, Malibu Barbie-inspired mini-dress and high heels and attempts to be taken seriously.  

All of the artists make pretty bad stuff, except for Sarah K. and Sarah J. Sarah K. dismantles the car seats and arranges them on a canvas to look like ink blots. Sarah J. makes a cool version of the car’s muffler spewing something sculptural that looks like a mix between a vase of flowers and a frozen puff of air. Sarah J. wins.

The bottom three are Lola, Michelle and Kymia. Lola has made a drawing of her own face with those damn words again, some crystallized car parts and some glass thing. She thinks she can get away with this shit because she’s pixie-like, young and sexy, and because Jerry Saltz has a big hard-on for her. He almost cries when she tells him the show doesn’t give them enough time to arrange their pieces. Oh, Jerry, I think I hate you most of all.

Kymia’s piece would have been cool, but it broke. It doesn’t really matter what she did, though, because Michelle made a big dumb face on a car with googly eyes. She’s sent home.

What will next week’s final six bring? My guess is sexual harassment charges for Jerry.
