1.5 million for that? I know those paintings are very methodical in the way they are painted, but that doesnt mean thay are any good for anyone who hasn't studied art for years.

What are we talking about here - the value of art (again?) or the fact that we should be outlawing chewing gum around the world?

I'd substitute the blue in that painting for green. It'd be a very intricate "current times" piece on the pollution of lakes and oceans.

The curator failed to notice at the time how much the wad of gum raised the value of that painting. :D I think SHE is the one that needs to be punished :mad:

It almost looks like a face with that gum as the mouth.

That's not the gum.

I have to admit though, the more I look at this painting, the more I like it.

HAY I DON'T KNOW OR CARE ABOUT ART BUT I THINK THIS SUXX WHAT DO I WIN?

HELP, I'M PREPARED TO ACCEPT MARKET FORCE EXPLANATIONS FOR THE COST OF ALL OTHER GOODS IN THE UNIVERSE BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ART I DEVELOP ODDLY MARXIST VIEWS ON VALUE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?
