T O P I C R E V I E WbananazI love when Venus retro plays out on a global scale. This latest one is Scorpio 100%. The destruction of valued art: http://techcrunch.com/2018/10/06/banksy-piece-immediately-shreds-itself-after-being-sold-for-1-25m/ teaselI liked this, too. I remember someone buying a blank canvas, for a million dollars (something like that), over twenty years ago. At the time, I thought they were stupid, and the "artist" was a scam artist that got lucky. bananaz quote:Originally posted by teasel:I liked this, too.

just the way the art community is
there's a documentary about a woman with a jackson pollack piece that was checked out by forensics labs and declared authentic but it's "worthless" to the art community for pointless reasons
it's an interesting glimpse into the way this sort of thing is marketed
pretty sure it was an art gallery in italy where a woman sold an unmade bed as art too

there's quite a bit of evidence linking him to a british musician whose name i can't recall right now
during a radio interview someone connected implied as much in a way that seemed like an accident, happened this past year actually
it hasnt been proven in an official sense and the story died down pretty quick though

usually when artists do something like that it's a matter of frustration at the art community and the buyers
i suppose if i had it in me to want to deal with people like that i wouldnt feel too bad about selling that sort of thing to them
it'd be like working any other job you dont care about and doing things that matter to you on the side i imagine
documentaries like the jackson pollack one and well... exit through the gift shop illustrate some of it well
the part that's sad about it really is how many artists get taken advantage of or get crushed by the reality of the art world
