Piece of gum ruins $1.5 million painting.

I hate it when people have no idea about art.Especially when they see a stupid painting like this one that has a "$1.5 million/art/painting" tag they think its real art because of their ignorance and because it is labelled like that.

Its like the tale of the King and the tailor that "made" him special clothes that only idiots couldnt see.He didnt say anything until a kid shouted in the crowd "the king\'s naked".

In this case a kid who saw this abomination as vaulable as a kid\'s drawing stuck a gum on this piece of nothing called art.I bet that the painting has more artistic value now that it has gum on it

Is this a Cyprus tale?

Nope.

great meaning

i was thinking oh no, that\'s wrong that the kid could do such a thing to a painting that is worth $1.5 million dollars...

But Unicron made some really good points though.  A painting like that worth $1.5 million makes no sense.  I can imagine a painting like that can be easily duplicated...

BTW, its just a quite small stain and hardly visible, one can give the excuse that, "oh the stain is part of the painting too...its like who cares...nothing in life is perfect.  Even the perfect stuff does degrade as time go by..."

And your brilliantly informed evaluation of this piece is based on a 220x242 pixel image.  :rolleyes:  You might want to avoid passing judgement on the value of things you don\'t understand.

I don\'t see the problem, the gum is probably the best part of the painting...

I studied art & design for 4 years, and even I can\'t fucking well figure that piece of shit out

What dont I understand?Tell us what you udnerstood that I didnt.

Its not the first time a painting like that is tagged with such a hige value without actually being worthy of that value.

I ve seen other similar occasions by first hand.
I just remembered something funny I saw once now
I went into a gallery once of an artist that made abstract art.I have to say he was pretty good.Some were extremely complicated and deserves credit for his work.
But there was also a "painting" which was nothing but a white paper that wrote "I feel fine".I checked if it had a price and it was sold at around 120 Cy pounds which is around $240

Its a stupid trend today for many...."asrtists" to do something abstract and call it an abstract painting/art.Many other artists complain about this because the others are really ruining how abstract art should have been.

Abstract art should meet some criteria that add true artistic value to say that something is a good example of abstract art.You dont do random stuff and name it abstract painting.There is no depth in this painting at all.

Hmmm...I wonder how much this costs

[Viper_Fujax]

i remember seeing that drawing..was right after art before my kindergarden naptime.

If thats really abstract art or whatever..thats stupid as hell

u guys are just mocking what you don\'t understand.  admit it

like it or not it\'s worth more than your organs on ebay.
