Can you recommend an auction house that's reputable and doesn't try to steal your Jade bracelet of course the owner didn't know but she literally did and that was heritage auctions and I'll tell you she was in the jewelry department her name is Karen she lives in Florida and she's still with the company cuz I didn't write on her but maybe I should have because the guy knows how many people she's doing it to or maybe she stopped because I caught her I got my bracelet back and now I'm very apprehensive how would I know all this information about her I told it to you just so you can believe that I'm not lying and I fear auction houses so it's either I find the reputable one maybe you might be interested in buying some artifacts I see I used to have a store brick and mortar and my own collection of items but I got a lot of others and I want to sell some what do I have to start my own business online but would like to get rid of some things too as I need the cash the covid destroyed my business had to close it down. If you can help me in a way pointing me to a right direction a number or maybe we can do something together like you could berepresent me and I can pay you a fee because I'm a woman and unfortunately people try to take advantage of that they take it for a weakness my kindness etcetera and it's another woman that did it so it's not just men to do it but anyway you seem to be a reputable guy. Let me know it will definitely be lucrative for you as well.

think good on Sotheby's for being able to capture the attention of the world's richest eyeballs and achieving such a good result on such a controversial piece. I think it goes to show the role that elite auction houses such as Christie's and Sotheby's play in determining prices of valuable objects, whether it's a monet, a huanghuali chair, limited production leather goods, an experience or an nft. Unless you live in a completely despotic country. No one person agency company or marketplace defines what art is, or set prices. At the end of the day the hammer price is based on what somebody is willing to pay. And people buy stuff for many reasons. Not just to have as a decorative object to adorn one's house and hope that it appreciates. They could be doing it for the prestige, for the publicity and bragging rights, for the belief that they own a piece of History. or perhaps they're the heiress of Chiquita banana. For whatever reason, it makes sense to them , and so it's not up to one person to determine what is tasteful. As far as price, it's the market that determines it. Sotheby's just kind of make sure everything is legal and legit and they're middlemen, they're not forcing people to pay such high prices. As art though, the banana piece, which by the way comes with the certificate of authenticity by the artist ,is probably the most well-known piece of art made in the last few years, documented in probably thousands of publications throughout the world. It made a splash. The world ate it up, and sotherbys made a huge commission, and did it's job as auctioneer

"DADAISM" was just as hated, misunderstood, rejected, and characterized as superfluous. Just like movies and their critics, "ART" is very subjective. Ever hear of the saying. "One man's garbage is another man's treasure"? Let's us all get off our high horses and let each person define their own "ART". Whatever gives meaning to someone, whether positive or negative emotion, then let that someone enjoy it & declare it as their art.

But why? What is this saying and how is it saying what it's saying? What artistic techniques is it using to communicate? You might not love, say, Rembrandt. You might not like his style or subject matter. But hopefully you can recognize that he placed the figures in the composition a certain way, and used light and shadow a certain way, and went out and drew people and observed their facial expressions and learned from that, to show the figures' emotions. Yes, I guess there are elements of design used here. The straight lines of the tape contrast with the curve of the banana. There are four colors used, and it was a choice to place the banana in the center of the whiteboard. But why? What is the artist trying to say there? A lot of people would say it's not saying anything. A few people would come up with some completely fake interpretation, and crowds of people, who admire those people for their clothes or their Instagram photos would say "Wooow that's so deep!" because they want to get in close with those people. The issue isn't that one or two people like this thing, or spend their money on paperbacks about this thing. The issue is that it gets this high a valuation. The issue is that an institution that has had respect is now participating in this. I mean, you could say that the "point" is rich people making fun of poor people by showing off that they can spend that much money on cheap tape and a perishable fruit.
@noelpadilla2694 5 күн бұрын
ART is ART, no matter the monetary valuation. No matter the cost, it's worth something to whoever is paying for it. If someone gets an item for free (or pays for it for "less" than the subjective valuation) , then does that make the item less of an artwork???? The price of an item doesn't make ART...rather, the personal monetary valuation of whoever obtains it (and the personal emotion one gets from obtaining that item) is what makes ART! Do not assume your definition to be correct over someone else's! Also, if Sotheby's, Christie's, or any other house of auction deems the item as artwork, then so be it. Again, PEOPLE NEEDS TO GET OFF THEIR HIGH HORSES, AND STOP ACTING LIKE THEY ARE THE END-ALL EXPERTS IN THE ART WORLD.

Peter sounding like a real boomer 😄 You know art and the value of art is incredibly subjective, what is real art or not or why it is worth what it is worth, one could view it as a whole web of human bs tbh, and masturbating over details and delicacies to ones approval or not. I believe the whole irony here is this piece of art is suppose to be a joke and commentary on these exact issues, and he is probably even making a joke on his own value as an artist. This also has more to do with the stupidity of the market than the artist himself as well, and we all know how stupid the market is, although of course if the value of your own collection has gone up in these stupid bubbles that's ok hey?

But why do you like living in a world where nothing is taken seriously, and where jokes like this get put on the same level by an institution that used to be respected? I'm a nihilist, I don't believe in anything. It's not about loving something because someone else labeled it as sacred a long time ago. It's about respecting the ability of the human mind to create things, and communicate. It's disrespectful to artists, living or dead, in any medium, who put effort into the details of their work.

@@FidesAla both what I am saying and what you are saying can be true is the point, and why should anything ever be taken too seriously? Art can be a beautiful form of expression and communication, it can also be a rigid confined and imposed product built off the expectations of others or even just for survival/monetary gain, paradoxes abound. Peter is essentially disrespecting artists with this type of conservative take on 'modern art' and declaring how art can be defined or not. You realise the irony in all this in that this piece of 'art' has created so much attention, that we are discussing it and it even got Peter to make a video about it is art in itself? Real art is life IMO and all around you, anything that creates a response and has an impact on you can be art, its the deeper aspects of emotion and the subconscious. My perspective changes all the time too, sometimes I have nice attachments in different forms to my collection, sometimes I want to get rid of it all and find the attachments or ideas of monetary values burdens to my mind.

@@FidesAla if you are a nihilist as well why would you express the idea of Sotheby's being a respected institution? Since when do nihilists hold strong opinions about anything anyway? Places like this were corporatized quite a while ago. I am probably a Discordian myself influenced by Robert Anton Wilson, hence my ramblings, everything is subjective and prone to bias.

@@OGA103 it is subjective, is that so hard to stomach? And who decides exactly how to define art? And yes everything in life can be art or nothing at all, if you like. You must have also missed the part where I pointed out the artist himself never had any hand in the value of his own art work, does he even care? Do you even know his history as an artist or take? Your take on the divide of rich and poor is very good though, it is the general toxic state of things and will probably even bring everything undone this decade. The greed, hype and speculation around art and objects I think was part of my point about what is the true value of art as well and all part of the interesting psychology. Do you appreciate art for what it is from your perspective or do you allow value and implied importance to influence you?

Lol I was going to ask you about this purported artwork as I think they may end up ruining their gravy train with nonsense like this. I also thought Damien Hirst's Shark in formaldehyde was non-sensical at the time. Non-perishable art makes a lot more sense not to mention the absence of disagreeable odors. Maybe they just pretend its like the smell of money when they end up re-selling for astronomical sums to other greedy millionaires speculators. I don't believe anyone loves this art its a joke. There's also a major trend for comic characters in large painted formats which is even given a name, the superflat movement, which sells for millions of dollars .. way over priced for what it is. Artists like Mr. and Takashi Murakami.
