Yes

It's aesthetically pleasing and is a well known piece made by a very famous artist.

>is art actually a sham?

Yes, most of modern art is, it's great for laundering money though

People are willing to pay 100m for that trash.

What's the problem with that?

No.

MODERN art is a sham.

How many times a day do I have to tell Sup Forums it's Cultural Marxism?

"high art" is unironically a means of laundering money and evading taxes. It's a highly subjective value commodity and has no means of being devalued or reverse with age.

Yes and no.

What you have to understand about the super-rich today is that when they buy something like this, it's not about owning a piece of art they like, it's about being seen by other rich people spending $100 million on something they don't need. The act of buying something like this is a status symbol. Conspicuous consumption is the only goal.

No, modern art is a bit of a mixed bag. Renoir was a genius, Picasso was a genius, Derain and even Duchamp were brilliant.

POP art, on the other hand, is trash.

They're also willing to insure a print of some 'artists' anus glands on canvas in red paint for twenty or thirty times the price they paid for it so they can commit fraud later to liquidate an asset.

The art world is rife with shady deals and the least important aspect of the industry is the art itself.

Absolutely. Warhol was a fucking hack and only baby boomers with plebian tastes would actually pay that much money for one of his shitty, mass-produced "art pieces".

>aesthetically pleasing
For a fucking pleb with no taste in art

It only sold for that much because somebody thought it was worth that much to them. Just like everything else.

hey guys how much can i sell this for

>For a fucking pleb with no taste in art
Well, yeah.

What do you expect from a world where most of the current billionaires were entrepreneurs or investors born to middle class families that worked their way up to a great fortune? The nouveau riche have always been vulgar consumerists. If you wanted to have a truly cultured elite, you Euro-fags shouldn't have gotten rid of feudalism.

it's jews jewing jews

it's like money laundering, insurance fraud, conspicuous consumption, and poor taste rolled into one

what jew could resist?

it's called 'money laundering'

How do you launder money with expensive art? I thought there are well kept registries for expensive art that points to who paid
