It's a Jesus Rafael Soto original! He's like famous. He has his own Wikipedia page! Oh. and he's dead so you know he won't be undercutting the value of the work by making more.


Edit: I learned two things. One, Mr. Soto's work is in the Smithsonian and 2) Einstein had an illegitimate son.

That's a steal if we're talking modern art.

I saw one of those at costco for $19.95.

Just looking at it is making my eyeballs hurt. Sorry, I can't hear you. Your $24,000 painting is too loud.

Damn, why the hell did I get an engineering degree when I could just make stuff like this and sell it for $24,000! What are all these arts majors complaining about???

$300,000 for this one! http://www.amazon.com/Bianco/dp/B00...id=1410129076&sr=1-2&keywords=Victor+Vasarely

You'll have to be dead first and famous to be able to sell a painting for that price. :biggrin:

This is how this shit works.....

If you can afford that painting you probably have a nice salary/job/business whatever. You have friends who you invite into your home and when they see it you tell them how you spent 24K on two pieces of glass. You feel good and they feel like uncivilized heathens.

And that won't be the only stupid expensive thing hanging up in the asshole's house.

I'll get me some paint and an hour (being very generous lol) and I can make that. I'm only asking 1mil.

 

[sandorski]

Art is expensive, especially that of famous Artists. One reason is the rarity, but another is due to it being a low volume business.

I really like that piece, but probably not enough to spend that kind of $ on a Print of it, if I had that much to spend.

Shipping usually don't cost that much....

Jasper Johns is alive and kicking and hitting 8+ figures with his stuff these days.

Or, like the people that buy this stuff and actually know wtf they are doing, realize it is an investment that currently appreciates at a staggering rate of something like 20% per year. Or more.

So, basically: most of you just don't what you're talking about in threads like this.

Granted, I don't think that those who know wtf they are doing would be buying this stuff off of Amazon. Or not...who knows.

I looked up some more of that guys paintings. All the notable ones seem to be essentially the same. That is to say, flats fields of some color with one or more lines in the center. People who actually like the paintings describe them exactly like that! Of course then they go on to explain that flat fields of color with lines in them inspire powerful emotional and physical responses in those who view them. Has art disappeared so far up its own ass that no one entrenched in it actually hears how stupid they sound?

Some of his other stuff I kind of like though. "Broken Obelisk" looks pretty cool.
