Onement VI is a painting which sold for a price of $43.84 million.
I bet you're thinking who in the world would pay 43m for this painting that you can DIY for 30$.
Allow me to explain how this goes.
*Millionaire makes $43m in 2022
*He hires an artist to make "art" for $25k
*Artist puts one streak on canvas.
*Millionaire thanks artist, and has art appraised by an appraiser who is in his same circle of friends.
*Appraiser values artwork at $43m
*Millionaire donates $43m artwork to museum to get $43m tax written off
*Millionaire pays no taxes in 2022.
*Me at museum: This is literally stupid, it's just a line on a canvas.
*Person next to me: No, you just don't understand it because you're uncultured..

Just like Carl Andres bricks... I saw that when I was an art student - I thought it was a stupid pile then, I still do.
'Fine' artists are just con men... they have a line of bullshit they use to reel in the egos of the facile and weakminded.
Art should illuminate, should make the viewer feel strongly, it should make the world better by its existence.
This, and the pile of bricks, is nothing but cynicism, debasement of art.
