Am happy you enjoyed it, thank you

Number 7 is breathtaking

[@Ocheja_johnson]

It really is

[@phpn99]

It has nothing to do with a hypothetical value of the art sold - it's essentially money laundering. This is the sole reason some art is auctioned at such high prices. Tax evasion and the ability to transform capital into an intangible asset until it is converted back into cash. Most of these purchases are never hung on any wall ; they end up in crates stored offshore in massive safes dedicated to this sort of commodity.

[@tiwantiwaabibiman2603]

As a professional artist who creates art as a living - to feed my children, keep a roof over my head... Who gives FFF###Ck why art collectors collect art and any price?!!! The corporations you kill yourself to go to work for every day does exactly the same thing and worse without the altruistic of collecting art. Also your spectating is WRONG! The majority of art collectors buy art (st any price) because they really like or are moved by the work then for the investment factor. Collecting art is no different from people who invest in stocks. I ask what's your point? Have you spoken to every art collector in the world to know without a doubt that's why the collector art? So artists are not supposed to make art and earn a decent living to satisfy your unrealistic high horse morals?

[@ericswain4177]

As an Art collector and art researcher for 20+ years, I think the more $$ dollars and sales of an Artwork are stressed it degrades and diminishes the Artwork. $ Dollers do not determine great or even good artwork as evident in many Artworks today.

[@Ocheja_johnson]

What would you say, determines a great artwork?

[@ericswain4177]

@@Ocheja_johnsonI think its The artist's ability to communicate his or her Viewpoint, Aesthetics, Intentions Etc.. that was intended through their artwork and the majority of the audience gets and or understand, not just the elitist few who may or may not get it. Some of the best artwork I have or have seen is not highly valued.

Known fact: high priced art is perfect for and is being used ALOT for money laundering.

[@TomHendricksMusea]

Most modern art substitutes weird for quality, narrow isms for scope, and trendy for depth. It also refuses to change or even talk about progressive ideas in art like those that follow Too many treat art as a marketing scheme. Modern art has become a trendy clique and the art now is mostly over promoted footnotes to greater art that was done 100 years ago. But art is too important to be reduced to a trendy clique. Post-ism, is art for a new century, not a continuation of last century trends. 1 Mass Market Paintings like Prints. When any art form is mass marketed it enters a golden age. This has happened with books, records, and film. Let's add paintings. Most art is in storage in museum basements. Mass Marketing allows art to tour in copies and allows artists to make royalties on copies. Why do you think the world gets so excited about a new great book, record, or film; but no one cares about a new great painting? All are mass produced except the painting. 2. End a Century of Isms. Dump the genres and formulas and let all kinds of art be a part of the art world. 3. Shift Emphasis From Trendy to Quality. Shift emphasis from the latest trendy art, to quality art in any style. Just because art is weird does not mean it is great art. 4. Free the Art From Museums and Galleries. Get the art out of the ivory elitist museum and gallery towers and back into the world. Have city art centers open to all artists. Make art that is relevant and communicates with people. Start with the first generation of artists online. 5. Postism is Part of a Bigger Revolution. Postism is part of the bigger art and media revolution out of Dallas, that includes art, music, lit, film, media, and a lot more. 6. Postism online: Online artists are the new wave of art. We had all the isms of last century. Now we have a free for all, of all kinds of artists, that are not sanctioned by any museum or gallery, displaying their work. Out of that comes the next wave and revolution of artists. Last century the goal was to fit the ism. This century the goal is to do great art - no ism, no boundaries. Fractionalized art then, synchronized art now. Even calling something modern art is a type of ism that separates that art from the art of the past. The 20th century was a century of experimentation in art. Now in the 21st we can choose from all those styles and / or start one of our own. Then too if someone devises a way to charge and collect a penny per view on a webpage, that would allow any great artist to get money for their art and have a career without any middlemen. Duchamp broke ground 100 years ago - but now his clones are just shoveling dirt. Weird art is easy, you put a strip of raw bacon across an expensive violin, but it's not good art. Join the art revolution and pull the art world out of last century. Musea since 1992.

[@flamixin]

Purely exerting emotions and ego as a topic, start from a revolution end up like a disease. Because going unconstrained is highly achievable. The revolution to realize that will become a funny and insignificant part of human history, I guess. This is the part of the reason why you see art trends rotating so fast. Because if you don't move everyone will copy you..

Then don't watch or be here. People collecting art is not stupid or money wasted. When or if you're ever wealthy, you can do what you want with your money. ITMT, don't worry about what others do with theirs.

The work starts with excellence and devolves into absolute trash. And what’s worse is that the best sold for the lowest while the trash sold for the most. If this doesn’t clearly demonstrate how f-Ed up the world is - I don’t know what else does.
