If you want to immortalize culture, give it to everyone...
Money wasted on art works is absurd
Invisible art- HAHAHA Just stare at a blank wall lol. http://www.cbc.ca... Time on 1 painting = money I have painted on one canvas for 3 years. It is trash since I am no artist, but the auction starts at 2 million. Pay me now. History Not often so. What does a blank blue canvas, Mona Lisa or a goat gotta do with culture? Furthermore, you could easily photocopy the paintings, mass produce them and sell them. The portrait of Jesus Christ is one example. If you want to immortalize culture, give it to everyone so that everyone remembers, not just to a few filthy rich who would forget about it in a few days and the world wouldn't get that info through art as you claim. Arguments Gap between manufacturing and sale value Let's admit it, paint, canvas, paper and artistic tools barely cost 500-9000 dollar at top-notch quality. Yet the same artworks are sold for millions, or sometimes billions of dollars. This is a far too wide profit margin. Any middle class will find this highly unreasonable, yet the filthy rich waste their money over this trash. Undeserving artists Half the artworks are absurd and not really great, but sold because the artist has good fame. Look at my sources for more info. A ridiculous blue canvas with a line sold for millions! And that certainly didn't take time nor represent cultures. I would sell graffiti at a better price than it is now, but too bad its not counted as art by most. Graffiti may be called vandalism, but it is the best art form according to me. It even has a blending of text and pictures. http://cavemancircus.com... http://www.bloomberg.com... https://www.bloomberg.com...
