Did you see this?


Sotheby's Auction House, a painting entitled 'Composition in Black and White, With Double Lines' by Piet Mondrian, was sold at auction by Sotheby's in New York, Tuesday, May 5, 2009, for $9,266,500.

Heck, I would have painted that for them for half the money!! LOL!! Maybe I just don't know what "art" is?! LOL!!


Sad to think that some people have so much money that they can't find better things to use it for.


Just my humble opinion. ;-)

Yeah, it's sad the way people will pay for a name. If I'd done that, I couldn't have given it away, but people will buy anything if a popular artist's name is on it.

Yes, goes to show that after you've made a name for yourself, you don't have to do much anymore for some people will buy junk as long as your name is on it. Makes me think of many years ago when I used to devour Danielle Steel books. Then she stopped writing good stories and sold inferior

Donna, I was a big Danielle Steel fan too. She wrote some wonderful books....I was so dissapointed when she stopped writing "good" stories.
