I guess I am a philistine since I would not pay $10 for any of that art.

The "art" looks like it's just reproductions of photographs. Seems to me, if you really liked this, you could just have someone make you an exact replica for a few hundred dollars.

I think I disagree with you. If I had a blank wall in need of a picture, I might just pay 10 bucks for the Brando (probably not the Elvis).

That is neat, I guess, but to me he is overrated big time.

I laugh at people that pay for art. It’s not Michelangelo spending years painting a roof.

I just don’t care for art anymore.

Someone actually paid for that Warhol crap?

Proof positive there is a “Gruber” born every day.

Just another tulip bulb mania.

Sheesh, any serious collector knows the only Elvis portraits worth anything are done on black velvet.

This guy greatest skill was self-marketing. He partied and snorted coke with the who’s who of Hollywood, that’s the only reason anybody gives a crap about his “art”.

$151 million for Elvis and Brando? If John Q. Citizen had made that and tried to sell it to a gallery in middle America for $20,000 he’d be laughed straight out the door.
