It’s a cool piece but paying 100 million for a Basquiat is the absolute height of virtue signaling


Yep, and signaling one's subtle bigotry of lowered expectations.

Before even opening this thread I knew it would be either a Basquiat or a Rothko.

It is bigotry to think graffiti art is pretty much crap?

But I'd agree if you appreciate graffiti art to make it anywhere near this costly you have lowered your expectations.

I need to dig up some of my finger painting from my kindergarten years if that’s considered art worth millions

Artist didn't even try to name the damn thing, but it's worth $110m.

Basquiat has been dead since the late 80's. Overdosed on heroin I believe.

For all the progress we’ve made in the last 400 years, why has art gone to shite?




400 years ago, many forms of art that we treasure today were considered shite back then
