Sure you all could splatter paint on a canvas, or paint a dot or just a line, but would you have been the first person to do that and call it art?.
The genius is that nobody thought of it before... |
By that standard event@spec's pee no.1 would be a masterpiece:wtf: |

| i think that if i had 140mil to spare and art was a passion of mine, ide pay for it. and you know why? because if i can spend 140mil on a painting, how much could i spend on other "worthless" things? |

| ^there really is no more concept to money if you spend 141 millions on some painting! by the way who gets the money? the auction house? the jackson dude or his living family? |

simpson's did it, simpson's did it :p . it's still crap anyways, if art has no meaning crafted before its done its not art. anything can be given meaning in hindsight (not directed at echosystm). |

| It's a unique piece of art history by a unique figure in art history. That's what the money is being paid for. |
