The weirdest part of this is it isn’t even good art. It’s the sort of art you would expect from 12-year-old junior high students.

So at least he probably hardly sold any of it.

    “Good art” is a matter of marketing and who you know in the “art scene” more than it is anything else. There is plenty of shit in museums and fancy galleries that demonstrates less technical proficiency than these works, and plenty of shit in thrift stores and yard sales that demonstrates more.

      Do you hate Isabelle Becker’s sans titre works? Wanda Koop? Adelisa Selimbašić? Niklas Asker? Bram Demunter?

      Like I’m seeing loads of cool and talented artists from the last couple of years.

      Okay, well maybe you think these drawings are worth $151, but I sure as hell wouldn’t pay that for them.
