Why does this gibberish cost $110 million

the art of robbery without coercion*

Basquiat’s art is divorced almost entirely from its original intention.
Its literally like a slice of the NY that was sensationalized and gentrified.
Capitalist valuations are social constructs anyway breh

so in summation cacs ruined it like they ruin everything, for my less well read brothers.

Art nikkas are weird

Awesome, perfect example of what I was saying about how you don’t know anything about art, aren’t willing to learn, and are only focused on monetary value.

Most peons, like you, only see that as a can of soup. First of all, Warhol was a trained professional artist, and his screen prints are inarguably some of the greatest of all time from a technical and aesthetic perspective. But for people such as yourself, you still say “it’s just soup”. Andy Warhol had the same thing for lunch everyday: Campbell’s Soup. So his repetitious series was a comment on commercialism mixed with an underlying message that Andy Warhol was just a regular guy.

This message, of the superficiality of commercial art in response to the disappearance of the artist’s individual humanity, is the same comment you (and most brehs in this thread) are trying to express.
The difference is, he did it in the 60s when that was an original thought, and he expressed it through a beautiful image, not some bytchy post on an online message board
You’re so stupid, you don’t even understand something when it’s right in front of your face.

negged. that shyt is a can of soup and nothing more

im a nikka who realizes that cacs take whatever flavor we come up with, water it down, and monetize it.

expect for them to start moving en masse back into the suburbs/country in few years once we've begun to solidify our holdings there as well.

Basquiat’s art is overrated. If I had several Millions I’d buy his shyt and sell it to the suckers who don’t know any better.

He had everything but talent

 

[African Peasant]

There is absolutely no justifiable reason.

The only reason is : SPECULATION. There ara a lot people with TOO much money, so (fake) art is used as mean to stock and transfert wealth.

You need to look at this piece the same way you look at those overpriced condos in NYC.

I love it.

But I would only pay 110 million if i had 110 billion on me

 

[Supercoolmayo]

GPBear just made that shyt up

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Art game and fashion game are two cultures I never understand.

I have amazing art in my crib and collectively it probably costs less than $100. I made a pact about 10 years ago than any art I get comes from a street vender or thrift store or city market etc. I make sure every piece has a story

 

[Jalether]

No piece of art is worth 1000 dollars, nevermind millions.Not the monalisa, none of Picasso's work, none . It's just another stupid shyt rich people spend their money on.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

Because your goofy ass can't do it.

It's all psychology
