[Art] - You know it's a screwed up world...

[Art] - You know it's a screwed up world when art which sells for hundreds of millions of dollars looks like crap, while insanely amazing artwork is monetarily worthless.

Damien Hirst earns hundreds of millions of dollars dropping animal carcases into formaldehyde.

In contrast, check out the works of artist Blair Armitage (infinitely more talented than the likes of billionaires Damien Hirst et al, yet penniless by comparison).

Hello,

Did you get the facts correct? Who in his right mind would pay dollars for some art work?

I remember seeing "art" paintings from China a looong... time ago, there was a some art exhibition of Chinese painters in Singapore. One masterpiece was - you guess right - a nude painting of a female (the Chinese invented textiles and they hate it!). The master chose a Chinese female model - you guess right - young and beautiful. It was a full frontal nude painting! In the Chinese newspaper advertisement, they let us see only up from about 4 inches below the navel - can't see all! There was this slogan:
"Greater than the Mona Liza!" [edit] A real local art connoisseur bought it for $100,000. Don't know where the painting is hanging now.

Hail To The 5000 Years Of The Great Chinese Civilization!
Chan Rasjid.

Tge way i see it, art is a jewish conspiracy to enrich themselves.
Like at one tine barbra streisand being named most beautiful women.
And sndy wsrhol, the guy who osints campbell soup cans being named as a genius, but the guy who designed the can got nothing.

angmo type of corrupted capitalism is like tis lah

it is the price that determined the value

jho low bought yacht for US$250 million
yacht sold to genting for 126 million

no brain rich sucker bought hdb flat for 1 million
seller got it for less the half the selling price

worthless piece of tiny diamond selling for $1000
many stupid buyers willingly paid that amount
the price determine the value
