believe it or not, they even have these things called "galleries" where people go to look at art. and don't even go into that "well it's not a fuckin' van gogh original wawawawa". even the smaller artists gotta make a buck....they need to buy crayons and stuff, u know? |

2000 bux for 2 little pictures?!
holy shit what a waste of money! (my opinion). if i splatter a whole bunch of paint on a canvas and said it represented my anger and stress would i make money? to me i think i would. i just don't think paying thousands of dollars for something that doesn't do anything is a waste.... :Peenutt: |

mister-p, they're not lil pictures, they're 2 big lithographs haha.
well if you think about it, the value will most-likely go upwards, rather than down. (assuming that it's the real thing). it's kind of like investing in a company. you buy stocks, it's risky but still you do it, the value goes up? great! the value goes down, poopoo on you. but in the case of art-work (again, assuming that it's the real thing) the value is most-likely (i think) to go up especially if the artist is fairly well known and still gaining popularity.. who knows maybe in a couple years he'd be the big topic in the art.. community.. i think they (my rents) bought it because it was a good investment. i guess it's all about whether you realy appreaciate art or not i personally don't mind having those two lithographs hung up in our living room, they're very unique and interesting, but investing in art is only a small example of what other "ridiculous" investments other people make. for example, a car. why do certain people obsessive over cars, it's beyond my comprehension... a hung of metal? wuts up with that. I could say the same for cars as you would say for artwork. i guess it's all about interest. If I loved a piece of work, I would be willing to invest in it, but I do agree... 2000 is a hefty price, but ofcourse we can just resell it and get our money back if we wanted to ;) |
