I bid my Cracker Jack prize!
The most unlikely bible believing Christian in the world of popular culture. Happy to see Vincent Furnier still alive and kicking.
Why can’t I find something like that in my garage? Probably because I am poor. Or at least not rich.
AOC loves Ann D Warhaul’s painting of a can of soap.
A neighbor of mine back in the ‘70s, had been a neighbor of Warhol’s. He never had any food, so she bought him dinner every night. To repay her, he gave her one of his paintings. I have no idea where she is now or what happened to the painting. If she kept it and sold it now, she’d be living on easy street.
I thought the painting was awful. But that’s just me.
I still have the memory of when I was little, prob about 10, and in NY the news came over they had executed a criminal in the electric chair.
It was reported that as the electrocution was in process steam rose from his ears.
Really frightened me. Horrible thing. I can understand making the death penalty less barbaric.
Um, Alice, Hopper has been dead for 11 years on May 29.
Alice Cooper modeled for Salvador Dali when Dali made a hologram.
I wonder if Alice Cooper owns any original drawings paintings or objects created by Salvador Dali.
On a roll!

Some people have a lot more money than brains. Imagine all of the beautiful, inspiring art that one could buy with that kind of money...
As an unintended consequence, it also served to monetize the works of these same "artists." It became fashionable to own their inscrutable crap entirely because it suddenly had become so valuable. The über-rich came to discover that they could buy a Rothko painting of two rather dreary and unremarkable squares painted on a giant canvas for $2 million and sell it in 10 years time for $20 million to another "sophisticate" who feared losing social status if they didn't buy one for their own collection, regardless how much it cost.

Cooper told the New York Daily News: “My wife and I are both Christian. My father was a pastor, my grandfather was an evangelist.
He should sell it to the idiot Eli Broad. Eli will pay top dollar for the garbage and Alice won’t need to pay an auctioneer fee.
Wonder if it’s an omen after all these years a Death And Disaster painting shows up and Biden in the WH.
