I'll give them 20p for it and not a penny more.

I seriously doubt DVDs will ever become as prestigious as DVDs.

That's £76,950 or €113,671 or NZD $218,859 - 80 Grand bloody hell.

I'm sure DVDs are already as prestigious as DVDs, Brad.

I'd say Warhol is an artist, but obviously he's way way wayyyyy overrated, and overhyped, cause of all the pretentiousness... which is the case with many artists: their personality, their attitude, their arrogance, their pretentiosness etc etc... it creates attention, thus a hype, thus their stuff will sell... even if it's nothing special.

Also, the prices which are paid nowadays for art and 'art' , are just ridiculous. And the ONLY reason it sells for that much, is because you know it will sell for even more next time, because a huge price causes new hype, thus new interest, thus a higher pricetag...
At this time, art isnt bought by admirers anymore, but by investors who know they will get more money when they sell it ina few years time...

At the one hand, it's a very sad thing that money is thrown around on crap while millions of people starve, on the other hand it's nice to know that if everything else fails in my life, I can always go on to make a clay-figure of our queen getting ass-raped by a lama, call it art, dress like an idiot, create a hype, and make a good living if I can remember not to laugh throughout my whole act...

Cool, The Velvet Underground rock. I feel like listening to Lou Reed's Transformer now.
