    It is about money, sadly. That's where the intellectual/interesting part falters, imho. Sure, it is making people talk, but not in a good way. We aren't discussing the public display of personal lives, we are talking about how ridiculous this chump is and how ridiculous people are paying $90k+ for. It makes a mockery of "art".

    I hope Instagram sues him. That would make a difference.

    Probably would help him, though, and make the pieces skyrocket in value.

    I would like to see someone sue him, though, and win. They should at least be able to take the money/profits away. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a few law firms looking into some class action suit.

    • If it was pure creativity, like Richard Serra or Gerhard Richter, then I agree, worth whatever the can get, but this isn't more than sensationalism.formed
