The lucrative business of crappy art

"Artist", "Visionary" , and master of the vertical stripe Barnett Newman's paintings are going for 40 million plus.

some examples...
I'd post more but just picture those 2, exactly the same, with different color stripes.
I think rich people would pay out the arse for a house slipper full of bandaids if they thought it was posh.
Go into your garage, get the Valspar and a yard stick and pay your bills.

Jackson Pollock
No. 5(1948)
$164,700,000 (Sold for $140 mil. in 2006; adjusted for inflation)
To me it looks like a cow ate a bunch of ugly paint colors and vomited on a canvas.

Most artist do not live long enough to reap the rewards of these paydays.

Fine.
Master of the incorrectly displayed horizontal stripe.

sorry you don't get it

Wow. Such powerful expressions. I love the one that expresses desire in the wake of tragedy after the bombing of London. So deep and breathtaking.

The true art is convincing people they should pay for it

You have no concept of shape, form, design or composition.

His use of shades is impressive.

Where did the other art thread go? 
Posted on 8/19/14 at 8:42 pm to Hester Carries
Pretty sure the first one is just a photo of a ping pong table.
Posted on 8/19/14 at 8:47 pm to Sellecks Moustache
Is the title of the first one "The Oneness of Two" or "The Twoness of One" ?

I admit modern art is difficult to understand. You can't really comprehend the painting, sculpture or whatever medium without understanding the context of where and when the art piece was done. This includes understanding the macro context of society at the time as well as the micro context of different movement subsets in the art world. Most importantly, you have to understand the PROCESS behind the individual art piece and the artists overall aesthetic. Sure, anyone can paint what he did. But it is his conceptual theory behind his work that gives it heft.

Sounds eerily similar to Nick Saban's answer when asked how the field goal return coverage broke down.
