]]> 21045 2 34 Tip Be sure you know the correct pronunciation of the names or the jig will be up.

]]> 21046 3 39 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1098/39.jpg Learn a little-known fact If you’re at an art opening or museum exhibit, scour the internet for a little-known fact about the artist. No one need know it’s the only thing you know.

]]> 21047 4 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1098/51.jpg Mention an obscure artist Find an extremely obscure artist and ask your snooty friends if they’re familiar with his or her work. Then regale them with stories. If you mess up some of the details, no one will be the wiser.

]]> 21048 5 61 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1098/61.jpg Adopt THE stance Adopt THE stance. Stand back a distance from the piece of art, purse your lips as if in deep thought, and say, “I find this piece entirely derivative/jejune/neo-Slavic.”

]]> 21049 6 75 Tip If in a home, never, ever remark how wonderfully a painting goes with the décor.

]]> 21050 7 80 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1098/80.jpg Don’t get left out When the conversation becomes particularly obtuse, don’t let the artsy-fartsy crowd exclude you—just jump in and maneuver the conversation to a topic you’re well versed in with a timely, “Yes, of course…that reminds me of…”

]]> 21051 8 94 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1098/94.jpg Finesse faux pas When the inevitable occurs and you are called on something, laugh lightly, wink, and say, “I know that—I just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention.”

]]> 21052 9 105 Fact Jackson Pollack’s painting “No. 5” fetched $140 million in 2006.
