$110,500,000 at auction

did you not read my post?

>and it would be worth next to nothing
it would be a waste of materials because I don't like post-modern art and no one would want it

Damien Hirst is a hack who sells memes, Basquiat is alright, although I'll never actually understand why he's the most expensive living artist.

I personally don't get it but I'm sure it's a very important piece

Wait, Basquiat is dead.
Make it "recent artist"

Do you think these people just appeared out of the aether? You will never be famous enough to warrant a $100,000,000 price tag for your work, if you never try! Believe in yourself!

Dude he died in 1988 how did you not know this

>I could paint something like this
no youcouldn't, I mean you don't even get the artistic expression of this one.

>you'll never have an artificial price fixed to your existence
thankfully I think this will be the case

post-modern art is the result of classical art being "upstaged" by photography and the impressionists being "upstaged" by modern methods. classic works of importance will always be better for what they represent in the history of art while post-modern art will only be works which have no real innovation.

There is more art in more media being produced than ever before. The fact that is subjective value makes it easy to use in money laundering schemes is really irrelevant to the state of "art" as a whole.

>reeeeee but art is just oil paintings of horses

>like you don't even get it
what is there to get? it's all obvious if you understand the motivation unless you're talking about the obscure details of this painting. you're probably relying on your own interpretation as the "point" I'm guessing.
