I'm no art connoisseur (and that example is rather 'bleh' to me) but the art world is... "eclectic" I'll say in what is worthwhile.
The above is certainly not 'my' cup of tea as it were, but I all it takes is to be somehow related to a 'popular' artist and watch it go for an obscene amount of money.
OP- join us at the below thread if you want to talk about art! There's some really cool ones members here posted that they have.
Just thought I'd ask about what folks have hanging in their house. I'd be the first to admit that I don't know much about it other than the mandatory classes in HS & College I had to take. We're now at the point where we're starting to hang things on our walls that aren't pictures of ourselves...
Case in point- to my eyes they're equally 'bleh' but this one would be valued at a ridiculous sum of money that most of us here likely couldn't fathom.
