It's called the "Woman-Ochre" not "piece of shit"

>What is your thoughts on modern art pol?
Supply and demand based on the reputation of the artist vs the method of acquisition....Basically, these things are rare but require a story to increase the value....being lost forever increases the value. Another HUGE requirement for art value is that the artist must be dead...no chance of making any more comparable pieces.

>it's somehow worth 160million dollars

Are you questioning capitalism son? What, are you some kind of Pinko commie?

Art is objective and has high standards. What we are witnessing in this age is self expressionism. Mona Lisa is art to everyone, because it's beautiful and a masterpiece. While on the other hand, self expressionism is art only to those who can relate to it

High priced art is mostly money laundering

>Woman-Ochre" not "piece of shit"

Ochre -> mud -> slang for poo/shit

No, he's actually correct, it is a piece of shit, just he failed to be more precise, due to the adjective "woman": the painting title essentially means "Woman Poo".

Pablo Picasso would beg to differ

De Kooning was brilliant. Go fuck your self.

Modern art is the best sample of what happens if Cultural Marxism is left unchallenged, it has inflitrated all art institutions (one of the reasons why artists tend to be leftists) and it has reverted and destroyed what art used to stand for.

Art is not just about being creative (that is what modern art is all about) art involves craftmanship, skill, hours and years of dedication. For a piece to have the masterpiece standard it has to involve skill, craft and dedication - I see none of that in modern "art".

There's a reason Hitler banned this shit.

>>137373607
there are 1000s of graffiti that has more artistic integrity than that. Could imagine that being 50-200$, garage sale or thrift store $15

>>137374254
if that was the case couldnt every purchase of high price questionable art be investigated?

>>137375790
There's a reason Hitler stole this shit

just watched that episode of its always sunny kek

A lot of things that get big prices at auction are valuable, not only as pieces of art, but also how they figure in the development of art.

It a question of how 'important' it is as an early example of art moving in a new direction.

Any competent graphic designer can do the stuff Andy Warhol does, but he is well known because he got there first and pioneered a certain style/philosophy/asethetic that went on to become a part of the culture.

A lot of Warhols later stuff doesn't command big prices because at a certain point he ran out of ideas and was no longer doing innovative/important work.

All that said -- there IS an element of fraud in the art world. A lot of it is wealthy jewish galleries and agents scratching each other's backs.

90-99% of that value is for "bonus package" things like drugs and guns

This painting is an insult to the frame.

>>137373607
Money laundering

>>137373607
Expensive art is a form of money laundering for rich people. They also use artwork donations to avoid paying taxes on other income.

You can get good art for $100 from your local co-op or college students. It's not just a matter of taste; it's a complex scam when art costs this much.

>>137373607
It's money laundering

>>137373987
^^^^^^^^

>pencil scribble like a 5 year old
>I can do that
It's not art
>Aha! But you didn't do it therefore it is art
Wew

Ochre is a variety of common pigment used in painting you gigantic faggot.
