I wonder if the new Bidens coming into the market will dilute the elite buyer pool.

Random trivia factoid... A-bomb pioneer J. Robert Oppenheimer grew up in an apartment with three Van Gogh paintings and several Picassos.

There's nothing particularly new about the Art Mafia fooling wealthy people into thinking that crap is good. It's an age old scam. Look at this POS that went for over $20million a few years ago:

I used to see Picasso like most other people, until I found a huge collection of his work in my high school library. And one of his most minor works suddenly grabbed me and convinced me of his genius.
“Minor” or “minimalist” don’t do it justice, because it had only two lines in it. And yet it was instantly recognizable, and the more I looked at it the more I realized that it was “perfect”. The lines were not straight, having some subtle curves in them.
And it was not something I could reproduce, even if I tried a thousand times. The slightest change and it would no longer be “perfect”.
This is not to say that all his works were that good, just that in his vast portfolio, there was a strong chance that hidden within was the spirit of art, if I could find it.
