Not knowing anything about it, I wouldn’t take this thing home if they were giving it away for free at a store I passed by.

Looks like a fancy balloon animal.

Next one will sell north of $100M. These end up being terrific investments for those that want to join the exclusive club. Koons is well known in the art world....just watched a documentary on this and it’s mind blowing.


Isn’t the Art world just old school bitcoin for the super rich? I know a lot of Chinese use art purchases/sales to get their money out of the mainland. Others use it to hide gains made offbook.

The best truth I have ever heard about art is "if you cant sell it, raise the price".

Art prices has very little to do with actual value.

Tony Buzbee bought it only so it can be stolen from his home during his next hooker and drug party.

A true OT Baller.

If you’re talking about “The Price of Everything,” it’s a great documentary. Funny thing is some of their smart collectors they interviewed were talking about Koons falling out of fashion and producing “lobby art.” Also interesting to see how Koons uses a full studio of artists and technicians to do his work.

Modern art auctions are money laundering operations for nefarious transactions.

These prices are set by the pride and insecurity of the bidders.

Also the drug money they're laundering.

So, if I’m understanding yoicorrectly, SI Newhouse, thenseller didn’t set the price.

It was Bob Mnuchin ans his associates who did. THE FATHER OF STEVEN MNUCHIN, Trump cabinet member, is associated with drug money.

Loosen the foil.

Why do you always degrade people in every post? I'm not sure I've seen a post by you that you aren't degrading someone.

Is your life so miserable that you need to talk shite to people on the internet to make yourself feel better?
