1426115 2016-09-17 06:53:00 Is it just me, or does someone else agree that Colin McCahon's art is just a crock of shite?

Compare the paintings on the wall behind the auctioneer and tell me honestly that any of his doodlings is worth more than any of them! And I include that one that sold the other week for some stupid price.

Oh my God.... I have spoken evil! Or have I?

1426117 2016-09-17 07:32:00 Artists, art critics, and art collectors, are the only people who see value in a large percentage of it.
I googled this guy (never heard of him), his art looks like high school art class work. Might be worth something in a frame - the price of the frame that is.

Edit: But then again I am completely mystified by how people rave over pop music. It just goes to show we are all different I suppose.

I didn't say I wouldn't own one. I just wouldn't pay for one, I would accept one as a gift, but I'm blowed if I would hang it on a wall in our house. After all, I am a bit fussy about what I look at. I would be open to all offers though to buy it off me. How much would you offer? Would you like a nice new suit of clothes with it? Made of the finest material, so fine that you can see right through it.
