re: "Fine Art" painting sold at auction for $111M

I think that a good name for this painting is:

Fool's Gold

This is true. However, you could potentially be making this up since you are the only one in this thread who has ever heard of him before this thread.

Uh, Jean-Michel Basquiat is without question one of the most famous American artists of all time.

His art is awful.

I believe that is what one would consider an opinion.

Often when I see an artist that becomes huge and his paintings sell for millions of dollars after his death, and I don't understand it, I check it off as my own ignorance on art.

It takes a lot of hubris to think to yourself "Hey this looks like shite and it is bad, I don't care what people who actually know something about art say."

That's like someone who hasn't even taken a college biology course calling into question Evolution.

Maybe you just don't know what you're talking about.

Hell you say...I call plagiarism. My 4 year old drew that last night.
