Ynamfoeno, What world are we living in where artists and sports stars are valued so much more than nurses and teachers?

Judi

Ynamfoeno, some people have too much money

Clidge

I don’t understand how that would even be legal.

A rare piece of art was sold, hilariously and immediately vandalized, then received a "first ever" added to its provenance. It's silly but my guess was it all went according to plan. This showed how ridiculous that entire industry can be while simultaneously profiting from it. Well done.

HippieJo, people have stolen his work in the past, by demolishing walls to get the art.I am so glad he did this. His work is for everyone to see not to be held in someone's private collection.

yep, just like the rest of the art that is called that, like painting a large canvas all black...and then, THEY tell us 'uneducated' and 'you just don't understand it'...
