Want to see what a $100 million work of art looks like?

[Al-Gebra]

Diamond encrusted platinum skull w real teeth from its 19th century model.  the diamond in the forehead alone is worth close to $10 million.

this is the most expensive work of "art" by a living artist.

other works of art by damian hirst include.

he won britain's top art prize for the shark.

Modern art isn't what I'd really class as art IMO.

It's just pretentious crap.

[Andre Nickatina]

Amazing. Thats a lot of money. In one piece too. Damn.

That skull is pretty impressive but I hate all that other shit like Damian Hirst and all the other shit you see winning the Turner Prize.

Art should be about how good you can draw or paint on canvas - I appreciate something like that because it takes skill and practice.

Hell, I could take a shit in the corner of a room and call it "art" and some stupid fuck would probably pay to see it if it wer marketed to the right class of idiot.

[WOOO]

can i sell it and buy some whey?

Art is all about the "idea" now. Most of these well known modern artist only visualise the idea, conceptualise it, then have their minions actually create it.

The skull I guess is acceptable, but it's selling point as a work of art is mostly down to the cost of the materials used.

The shark thing is just a fucking joke.

Why didn't he finish the job

the previous "owner" of the skull was some 19th century dude, iirc.  hence the un-orthodontized teeth.

[Purge_WTF]

The guy on the right looks like a young Geoffrey Brent.

[JOHN MATRIX]

who the hell spends money on this crap?

my favorite though is when you are in an art museum and you see a 'masterpeice' on display that is nothing but paint splattered randomly on a canvas, something that any kindergardener could do, even after taking a 2x4 to the head.

somewhere the renaissance masters are rolling in their graves

so sculpture, canvas work, statues arent considered "art"?

[Camel Jockey]

The art these days is stupid because of pc bullshit..

Like I was critical of this one guy's canvas of splattered paint, and he told be I didn't understand "abstract" art. hahahaha
