Have you ever wondered if expensive art is nothing more than a clever scam? The realm of art valuation is quite intriguing and fascinating... But sometimes it is had to justify and quite ridiculous

The art world is such a scam. Pieces selling for millions just because of an artist's name? Ridiculous.

I completely agree. Just slapping a famous name on something doesn't justify outrageous prices.

Like all that matters is the prestige and status of owning it, the art itself often isn't even good.

Depending on the art , modern art? yes , renaissance art? no , it is old and beautiful and it is unique in the world , so it is justified why that art will not be replicated because the people who did it are not in this world anymore

Don't even get me started on modern art, any kid could make that stuff. It's all about appearances and money laundering.

When you are talking about art like Leonardo da Vinci, no.
When talking about the "art" of a banana ducktaped to the wall, damn well no.
Art back in the old old old days is real art. Nowadays, shits not art what people are doing.
So yes, art is a scam nowadays

They hype it as intellectual and complex, but seems like an emperor has no clothes situation.
