"most artists steal their ideas, I pay for mine" He assures this with confidence and pride. Good for you Mr. Kostabi, now at the pinnacle. You deserve every bit of success.

This is hard to watch but he’s real af

[@frederick-nrunkkamara103]

I remember this guy in the 80s. I was wondering if he was for real.

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

. . . as artificial as an Hollywood "smile" 😁

[@ilygod11]

I have one of his original pencil sketched artwork from his teenage years before he became famous. He is quite talented!

[@toughtechsolutions]

Lucky you! hold on to that.. his work is going through the roof and surpassing the popularity of many of his lower east side predesessors. Highly collectible these days.

My Bovine Excremite Detector is blowing off the charts with this hustler of the ignorant.

[@DiamondCombat]

Lmaooooo this is gold

[@devilsadvocate269]

It might have been taboo in the art industry, but you can't knock him for hiring artists. They do this in many industries including the music industry.

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

May be - but the artist himself always should be on top of craftmanship - which Kostabi clearly was NOT !

Oh look, it's Chris Griffin, when he was brought to New York and turned into Art's downtown 'It Boy,' has his name changed to Christobel, is given a make-over to look like this jackass, etc., in the episode 'A Picture's Worth a Thousand Bucks.' It is very funny, all of it, this guy as well as the cartoon, or this guy as a cartoon, or a cartoon as social commentary as art. Stewie is given a job as 'The Face' of Calvin Klein's new diaper collection, if I remember correctly. And Kate Moss is in there, somewhere.

[@mbrady2329]

Is that Robert Fripp in the background, from 0'12" to 0'26"?!

[@elsagrace3893]

But I really like the art! 😞 That was the most despicable time period.

[@nervinokaras]

elsa Grace If like the art, that's all that matters.

[@devinreese1109]

Hah.....Yes it was entirely despicable. The era of jaded.

[@jessallen7756]

This is the standard in the art world today... Check out Mr. Brainwash, a very popular contemporary artist.. Warhol actually did very little actual work his last 15 years, but it is his most productive 15 years

[@VenetianVinyl]

@@jessallen7756 Mr.Brainwash would go to the Venice Beach flea market when I ran it, buy a old portrait painting and paint a Batman mask on it and make a killing. While wearing a fedora and talking the original vendor down to rock bottom price.

[@MohaymenPK]

Looks like bruno

[@joaoyapur1247]

art whores are not a social media invention but

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

Yeah, art w h o r e s . . . I don´t like them a lot . . .

[@AdolfStalin]

This guy allegedly was the brother of an ex-member of White Zombie. He sounds super pretentious.
