Oct 25th, 2017: Paintings

[xoxoxoBruce]

Painting making nice decorations in you mansion or hovel.
Unless you commissioned it(hired somebody that hopefully has skills), the best you can do is buy something you like to look at.
Maybe something which matches the drapes/sofa, or will really tie the room together also works.
(Stick to etchings for luring unsuspecting targets.)
However if you are buying to impress, or as an investment, it gets tricky.


I suspect the lion's share of these Billions are spent on established winners as declared by the experts, and are authenticated out
the wazoo to be by famous artists.
But what about the unwashed rabble?

The critics/experts say this is bad...

OK, I can go along with that.

The critics/experts say this is good...

Say what?

The critics/experts say this is bad...

Yeah, not real compelling.

The critics/experts say this is good...

Oh come on, you're shitting me.
Nope, the four they said were good are all hanging in real honest to god art museums.
And I don't mean a museum owned by a guy named Art.
