Gorgeous piece, worth every penny.

:S ... art

LOL fucking rich people. They're like hoarders but with money. No fuckin' idea what to do with it. Dumb bastards feed some people or build something.

Art is used by the rich to avoid taxes and launder money, in case you didn't know. Often the high selling price of a piece of crappy art isn't about the art, it's about who the seller & buyer are. We want to do a non traceable deal so my shell company sells your shell company my art anonymously or via fixed auction.

All sorts of tax benefits / loopholes if you're doing an above board transaction, like funding a charitable remainder trust with the art, for starters. Crazy world the rich live in.

all about the red........ or is it the green ? :Graucho

masterpiece for sure

Obvious money laundry is obvious...

Slow news day? This sold months ago..

Artwork is like baseball cards for ultra-rich assholes

It's always been like this, although this type money laundering does make me wonder about the actual value of past masterpieces ie Van Gogh and such

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder yeah?

Very nicely summed up :thumbsup /thread

ill never understand art, most look like paint by number to me
