Would you pay EIGHTY NINE MILLION QUID for this ?

[happypig]

Well ?

 

[Marshy]

Madrid paid that for Bale.

And I know which one will go up in value....

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

You can buy a nice football stadium for that money

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

Who's it by?

Edit: just had a google.. Always amazes me when paintings go for so much money. Just goes to show that things are worth what people are willing to pay

Who's it by?

Francis Bacon

I wondered where my painting I done in year 3 had got to...

If I had a spare £89 mill I would certainly consider buying this work of art

I don't think I would buy this one but there are plenty I would for that money, mostly by Rothko.

Well ?

It's these not this...

 

[banjo]

If I had eighty nine million pounds I wouldn't be fit to look at anything.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

In short no!

 

[Lethargic]

I might stretch to £89 for that, it's not really very good but then some arty farty art critic will tell me I don't know what I talking about.

If I had painted that then those arty farty art critics would most likely say it was worthless.

That is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a painting. Especially for one that doesn't even look nice. Some very amazing things could be done with £89 million.

Destroy the piece of shit painting and give the £89,000,000 to the people starving in Philippines.

That being said, I've just realised it's an investment for the buyer rather than a complete waste of money. Bit greedy though but hey ho.

Art is good to look at but it contributes fu#k all to society in this day and age. We're in a new era

 

[lighthouse]

It's these not this...

As it is a triptych the use of 'this' is entirely correct.

Poor pedantry...

 

[Seagull kimchi]

It belongs in a museum, not in some billionaires mansion where only elites get to see it - and that £80m could be used to save countless lives instead. Sick world we live in.

Totally agree....depressing isn't it.

 

[Icy Gull]

Probably a philistine but I wouldn't give that wall space.

 

[Biscuit]

I actually really like that, I'd have it on my wall, but not at that price!

and we watch a simple game of football in a £120m stadium......
