Potato #345 - $1.08 Million

I have a healthy level of envy when it comes to the ultra-rich, but this just rubs me the wrong way. Something very, very wrong about this.
This is what a potato photo that sells for 1 million Euros ($1.08 million) looks like. Kevin Abosch, a visual artist known primarily for super fast portraits of high-profile Silicon Valley executives and celebrities, stated in January 2016 the deal was made with a German businessman over dinner and a few glasses of wine in 2015.
The sale, if verified, would make the photograph the 15th most expensive one ever sold, joining a list that includes works by Andreas Gursky ("Rhein II" for $4,338,500 and "99 Cent II Diptychon" for $3,67 million), Cindy Sherman ("Untitled #96" for $3,890,500), Edward Steichen ("The Pond--Moonlight" for $2,928,000).
Headed to Rouses for my "Turnip #734".

Man I would pay like 1.2 million for just a picture of that potato.

At that price that potato needs to be floating wireless

It's haunting. Mesmerizing. I must have it. Money is no object.

Irish I had that level of artistic talent.

Incredible. C'est magnifique. Best pro-life piece I've seen in a long time.

2 things...
1.) the price of artistic works have no real world basis... there are art dealers that do essentially the same thing as house flippers.... the art world is rife with market manipulation....
2.) art dealing is basically custom for crime.... specifically money laundering.... unlike traditional revenue streams where there are safeguards against cooking the books, secrecy/anonymity is preferred amongst buyers and sellers...

I apologize for the down vote. I fat fingered the up vote.

I needed something to look at while I am taking a dump.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, do you think I can convince the purchaser of the photo to buy the word moron from me for $1,000?

I don't get it.
