And uninteresting to me is abstract.

I really don't understand what you mean...

uninteresting: Arousing little or no interest or curiosity; boring.

abstract: not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature


If you mean you find abstract art uninteresting then you could have simply said "I find abstract art uninteresting"...

That is what I meant:lol: But this peice is very boring and the first thing that catches my eye is the orange stripe, and I don't like orange

I prefer tangerine over orange, both the fruit and the color. But honestly, some asshole spent more money on a painting than a good percent of the world will make there entire lives... combined...

We all know Bill Gates doesn't need all of his 100 billion or so dollars, so why doesn't he pass some of the wealth around? He could give everyone in the US roughly 3333 dollars...

Re: Painting sold for $73 million

You here that gates, share the wealth, I might be able to buy the art thing we are talking about

This is a prime example of someone who did do verses so many who could do but don't.

Re: Painting sold for $73 million

Hmmm... Don't be so hard on it, people. As an art-lover and occaisional artist myself, I have learned to be more accepting of art. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Abstract or not, I say that the artist obviously had some motive in mind to paint this and it had some specific meaning to him. Someone apparently had the same idea and saw the meaning it, and bought it. It's just like with everything else- people have different tastes.

But this is $73 million worth of different taste :lol:

In art, things are never as they seem... Van Gogh only sold one painting in his entire lifetime, cut off his ear, went to an insane asylum and shot himself after living a horrible life. All these long years later, his paintings are selling for much more than that, and his fame seems a bit over-due... yes it's odd, but hey, if you had so much money that it didn't matter- what you see is what you buy!

if someone can love an art piece, another person can hate it... that's what it means to have different tastes... loving everything equally regardless of content or context is as good as having no feeling about it whatsoever... that's not art appreciation, that's art apathy...

I think it's an odd looking thing, could be interesting to have up on the wall, might even be worth buying if it suits your taste, but it's obviously not worth millions... they couldn't have even put much time into this... I could get the same thing from a kindergarten kid in art class, pay im 20 bucks, know it came more from the heart than anything else I could buy and know the compliment of buying it would mean far more ^_^

Re: Painting sold for $73 million

If I had 73 million I would probably have an art studio where I could make a piece of art. Not that I don't appreciate others art just that creating it would be part of what makes it special to me.
