$1.5 Million? The painting looks like a paint spill at Home Depot.

$1.5 million for that!? I've got an old painting drop cloth that looks like this painting. Perhaps I should contact the museum.

That's not art, that's crap!
The kid did the thing a favor. My kid brings home better stuff in tempera paint from kindergarten.

Ugh ... the "painting" is garbage ... but it's not his garbage. Damaging it was wrong.

Who'd pay over a million for that painting?

Hm.. I actually like it. Not that I'd pay $1.5 million for it, or even $1.5 hundred ... but it's interesting.

$1.5 Million for that "art" seems a seriously inflated value to me.

When I look at that atrociously overpriced blotch of paint, "The Emperor's New Clothes" comes to mind. The real art is in the writeup next to the painting-----the one that convinces art snobs that they are looking at a work of genius.
To: Cagey
Obviously he was just trying to add a little texture and depth to an otherwise pointless and boring canvas.

I have to say, this piece is quite inspiring. I never thought i had any artistic talent and therefore long ago put away my crayons in despair but now i realize it doesn't take talent to make big bucks in the art world. Come to think of it, i imagine i probably have some kindergarten work that very much resembles this.
I mean honestly, this type of "art" is something i'd expect to see hanging up in some 2nd grade classroom and even then i doubt it'd be voted the best picture of the class.

On second thought, maybe it wasn't that bad a crime. At least not as much as that painting being worth that much money.

I'd like to meet the person who would actually pay $1.5 million for this er, piece of art. I have some pictures on the refrigerator painted by my 7 year-old grandson that I'd let go for the bargain price of say, $600 thou.

That stuff deserves much more than gum stuck on it. Some modern artist needs to crap all over it and call it his art.
