You sure? There are much better ways to spend $104 million.

It's one of those rare paintings that i think to myself, if i was a gazillionaire, i'd pay whatever was necessary for it.

jesus, forget the money...... talk about the painting!!!!
it's fucking amazing! and someone owns it! on their own! up in their living room to admire every day! (probably not, probably stored in some maximum security place)

Good thing about art is everyone has their own taste... not something I'd want on my wall for inspiration - regardless of it's worth.

Yup, it should be in a museum. But money is in command. Sad thing having in mind we're talking about art. But well, it's been long ago that art and money come together. Shame. Or something.

Same here. It's nice, but I don't think too much of it. Doesn't move me as much as some of his others. The history is what is attractive.

I'm sorry. I'm in love with it.
Beginning to question my sexuality......

I agree. I'm the most greedy bastard you may find ;D But when it comes to art, money should not be involved. Any piece of art like that one HAS to be in a museum.

you know, for $104 you could sponsor an army of young up- and-coming painters and get a thousand paintings and really do the world a favor.
these idiots are buying a name, not something that 'moves them'.

as few museums i got to visit when i was a kid because of my location, i wish that all of this stuff was in a museum somewhere and that i could have a plane ticket out to somewhere to see something...
i don't make any judgement on them who bought it, cause if i had alot of money, i would just own a museum and put alot of things in it just for me to look at (i would let other people in i guess)...
as far as it moving me, it does i guess...i never really understood exactly what that was...
i just know that it impacts me

OTT.
interesting though that an individual has that kinda money to spend on his/her desire.
To appreciate this painting. There's no function and i'm not saying everything needs to have a function but when you're talking about £104m in a world where people are getting paid £4 a month to make the shoes we wear I just think its an example of how disproportionate our society has become.I think its an example of our disease.

i say sponsor the living, the dead don't care. find that next big painter and get a masterpiece off him/her for $500.

why is picasso worth so much,
cos sothebys say so.like tulips in the early 1600's.
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
Charles MacKay, 1841

stupid really to be honest! at one point he was so broke, that he could'nt even buy canvas! then he passes away at the burgeoisie shitheads decided to pay him 104 million NOW! what a fucked up ironic world we live in! impressive almost!

i can understand that all things are ambiguous, that there is always to be nottinghams and robins, that a painter can sell his work for a lot of money, that someone could make enough money to spend it like this (certainly someone that can make much more and still not giving it to the poor...),
but i simply don't understand why there was $11 to the auction house... what have they done? bankers. i don't like them.
