gene gene built a machine
joe joe made it go
art art cut a fart
and blew the fucking thing apart
that would be my first thought when thinking about art but apparently there's a whole world of genuine art out there that some people put a higher value on than gene's machine:
the little beauty above sold for north of $20,000,000.00. and that's american dollars not the cheap canadian shit.
for the more budget minded, the above beauty can be had for south of $14,000,000.00
if these pieces of art tickle your fancy, here's the collection of 10 paintings that SOLD FOR $420,000,000.00
i suppose that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, value is in the eye of the investor or most probable, ego is in the soul of the acquisitor. it's easy for us rubes to sit back and be scornful of the wealthy for paying these prices but on the other hand, blowing your money on art leaves a minuscule carbon foot print compared to buying a $100,000,000.00 yacht. plus, art tends to increase in value whereas the value of yacht probably drops 25% when you drive it off the lot.
in case you missed the speech obama read from a teleprompter a few days before the fun in paris when he announced that ISIS had been contained, here is the gist of his message to the muslim peaceniks:
i love you sons of bitches

king- whip out your brush and start painting. royal art's worth a fortune these days.
My hand, the whore, sucks at art...
It's only a good investment because there's an even richer fool who will buy it from you later. You've got to admire the dealers and art critics who can talk up its value with their brand of B.S.
gb - i agree, it's like the penny gold mining shares. "the greater fool than i" practice. buy something and count on a greater fool buying it at a higher price. there could be a bit of money laundering going on too.
you should hang onto all the jungle art at the safari camp.
You ever lose your electricity during those storms?
The song was somehow comforting - not.
king - we very rarely lose our electricity but a few friends how live in white rock, about 15 km away, lose their electricity frequently.
dixie - reeves or the muslims?
I think I would rather buy your first thought about art than the pictures you posted. Holy cannoli. I'm in wrong line of work. Take care, BP.

I like art, but the price is not worth it. I'll go to a museum to see art.
