30 million? I painted better shit than that when I was a toddler. Why aren't I in a museum?

Is it just me or does that painting seem to be breathing

She must've been having a hard time with her artwork so she snapped and rubbed her ass on an expensive piece... then took a piss.

That's a lot to pay for something that's not in the painting. It also suggest that the artist must have done something stellar in the past.

It also helps the value of the art to be kept out of public hands for a really long time, which would make the people who always wanted the paintings of him make it worth tremendously more.

And that suggests you're paying as an exclusive audience - again, unrelated to the painting.

Yeahno, abstract art isn't created so the bourgeoisie to make pretentious hidden meanings behind a painting, like some 30 million dollar magic eye painting.
Looking at Still's wiki page, it was about an exploration of colours with jagged forms. No optical illusions or secret artistic message.

you understand now, it doesn't really matter all that much what the content of the painting means, it's just a way for rich people make money off of it, whether by making people pay to see it or to keep it on your private collection so that it gathers more worth and then sell fir an even more outrageous price.
if they want to pay for it, I don't care all that much, I can still see an interesting piece of art.

I.WAS.FUCKING.JOKING!

what the fuck is her problem

That woman is my hero.

I would wipe my ass with that piece of junk as well. Maybe she was trying to bring the piece's value down to its true price, that of a used piece of 10 foot toilet paper (which is 64 cents in gum covered crusty change)

What pissed me off wasnt her. It was the pretentious dick hole gallery owner at the end who said "this woman, who is probably unknown to anybody, being able to even touch the piece..." Like the fame of the person matters? So if a celebrity pissed on a painting it would be alright? If some rich snooty froofroo art critic scratched a piece it would be ok? This guy is so far up his own self righteous ass he can see his vocal chords flapping egotistical bullshit.

at last someone that makes some sense in this post, thank you ...

I've wiped my ass with $100 bills before, but wiping my ass with a $30 million dollar painting? Damn, bitch, you crazy.

Also, how in the fuck is that painting worth $30 million? It's abstract paint splashes on a canvas that can't be interpreted. I can paint that with my dick and I'll be rich.

Ah, how I love the world of art.

Obviously it's because LSD is still widely used among some of these artists, and the beatniks who call it art.

I've got tons of art paint. Guess I'll get some paper and see if I can make paint splotches worth 30mil (maybe if I use my dick as the brush it'll add another 10mil to it).

I don't know what she fucked up more: the work of art, or her own body. Lol.

Art is a beautiful idea, not a beautiful painting. Not very many people understand that.

""You have to wonder where her friends were," she said.."

She probably has none. I know I wouldn't be friends with friends with such an uncultured bitch. Tsk!

this thread reminds me why i dont ask 17 year olds their opinion on art

Why is that worth $30 m?

Yes, because rubbing one's buttocks against a painting while drunk is a highly lethal pastime.

That said, if she'd applied paint to her buttocks and then rubbed them against a blank canvas (especially while videoing it), she'd have become an artistic sensation, thanks to the internet.

Looks like the artist painted it with his ass anyway.

*im sure it was an accident!*

lol

The Darwin Awards are given to people who die stupid deaths, they have nothing to do with just doing stupid things. Besides, that might not even count so much as a stupid thing as an insane thing. I had no idea how big this was when I first heard about it on "The Colbert Report". I guess it's bad enough that many people are talking about it. It's probably a new record for most expensive thing that anyone ever took a dump on!

I don't know about artistic sensation, but she'd likely become a meme.

Lol, SKHM is the badass cop of the newgrounds bbs. Do you beat the fucking scum silly with your fists and spit on those fucking waste of DNA? Lmao. On topic, yeah the painting aint worth $30 million dollars but even if you don't agree with the price tag or have a beef with art in general. Don't wipe your fucking arse all oer someones work, was the painting actually doing any harm to this freak show women? No, she's an idiot.

"...Colorado woman rubs her buttock against $30 Dollar painting."
