If some idiot paid 39 million for this.... no wonder the average person out there thinks what they do about people that have money.
I was in Art College at the height of the Abstract Expressionist Movement.
It was awful. All the Tuition I spent (which I earned while I was in high school) was wasted on learning “how to express myself”. Heck..I KNEW how to express myself. I was going to College to learn HOW to DRAW and PAINT!
Those idiots are hanging it upside down!
It’s hung upside down.
Looks like RR tracks to me...
Art today can be a booger with a hair in it!
Maybe there’s some kind of massive arms deal behind the transaction somewhere — or a container ship full of opium.
Something to make the deal worth that much money.
“When I am alone with myself, I have not the courage to think of myself as an artist in the great and ancient sense of the term. Giotto, Titan, Rembrandt and Goya were great painters.
I am only a PUBLIC ENTERTAINER who has understood his times and has exhausted, as best he could, the IMBECILITY, the VANITY, the CUPIDITY of his contemporaries. Mine is a bitter confession, more painful than it may appear, but it has the merit of being sincere.”
-Pablo Picasso
That’s a painting of three people hanging a painting on a museum wall, isn’t it?
Reminds me of my favorite symphonic piece, John Cage’s 4’33”
Totally, utterly, freaking INSANE!
