WTF is this shit? People are paying 300K for this? Why did we give up on having objective aesthetic standards in art?

"Today, his drawings sell for $7,500, says Greene, and paintings range from $40,000 up to $250,000 for multi-panel paintings and installations. Orlowski says he’s sold Krebber paintings privately for $300,000."

Its about concept not context.

Price is a combo of dick measuring, a rigged mkt, and tax fraud.

Art has no value other than what you place on it, which is why the best art is that which convinces people it's worth anything.

A lot of modern art is a fucking joke. There are good artists but it is still really ridiculous on many levels.

On the flipside there are some artists and some types of art that could get really big in the coming years.

You can get incredible value in other areas of the art world for like 100K vs. two drawings for the same amount from a dude doing fraud scribble shit

comments about dislike for modern art and architecture are dog whistles for anti-Semitism. definitely noting a few of the poasters itt as ppl to keep an eye on
