Yeah, and in the end, "value" is what you can get some schmuck to pay for something. I do not like "modern art" and I agree that much of it (especially the so-called performance art) is a scam. But THIS particular painting has always had an impact on me. Compared to the "classical" painters and their posed battlefields, this work is wrenching, tragic. It is agony and horror, it is not supposed to be pretty.
