Sold at 2006 for $140 million it could be worth more now.



1952 - Valued at $180 million



Because i wouldn't

when I see something like a jackson pollock paintings being valued at 140 and 180 million dollars it kills me inside that something like this can be valued so high. I may have not have a degree in Art but I know what looks good and what doesn't.

Are you an amateur stand-up comedian from 1985?

It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Obviously somebody likes it if it's worth that much money. Your taste doesn't arbitrarily define "art."

Meh to me it looks like a blob of paint that what it is there is no talent or skills involved in this.

Something like this involves skill and talent

Have you got any idea of why Pollock painted the way he did? Art is not just drawing pretty things, and you might want to read up on the history of art in order to understand why the hell abstract paintings are the way they are ;)

Mind you, people have very similar beliefs about the kind of music we listen to around here. "It doesn't take any skill to program a computer", after all.

Then surely you should be able to create a $180 million painting. Get to it.

Is it because you can't see the sailboat?

Obviously, I'm no critic, but this seems more "shart" than "art".
