Matty Bringing Sexy Back Since Jan 26, 2010 Messages 49,378 Score 5,269 Tokens 0 May 11, 2015 #4 I think we'll see the value of XXth century "high art" plummet during our lifetime. Kids today are fokking oblivious to most everything historical. When people who became adults before the Internet age start dying off, all this old school stuff is gonna nosedive. Wishful thinking maybe. I want a cheap Picasso.

Mudcat yap Since Jan 27, 2010 Messages 32,603 Score 429 Tokens 0 May 11, 2015 #8 I have looked at a fair bit of art and I don't even recognize that one. I wonder what Guernica or Les Demoiselles D'Avignon would go for. Prolly not for sale though. This one is a nice one. I like it. As far as insanely impossibly expensive paintings, I find myself more and more drawn to the Klimts. They have grown on me. Van Gogh has a quality but I am a little more puzzled about the extreme value placed on those. It's all crazy of course but relatively speaking.

Matty Bringing Sexy Back Since Jan 26, 2010 Messages 49,378 Score 5,269 Tokens 0 May 12, 2015 #10 RR why are people willing to pay $179 million for poorly-drawn boobies?
FairWarning Boring Poster Since Apr 9, 2010 Messages 11,072 Score 239 Tokens 18 May 12, 2015 #11 Because they can. Money and taste are not correlated.
Matty Bringing Sexy Back Since Jan 26, 2010 Messages 49,378 Score 5,269 Tokens 0 May 12, 2015 #12 I don't think these people buy art to show off their "taste".
Mudcat yap Since Jan 27, 2010 Messages 32,603 Score 429 Tokens 0 May 12, 2015 #13 The Scream was once stolen. Maybe more than once? It's happened with other well known works of art too. It's a bit of a thing. Interesting personality profile that would want to own that. Not because of the painting itself but because you couldn't really show it to much of anyone. You just know you have it.
