As far as what it's doing for mankind? It's brightening up the collective days of the downtrodden masses. That's reason enough for 200 million, isn't it? I mean, who is to really say what the value of art is? I know I have a hard time putting a price on it. <br /><br />But, yeah, lots of collectors, greedy rich, and idiots like us who love to just slap paint on canvas-the art world is full of 'em. <br /><br />It takes all types, I guess, to keep it interesting, doesn't it? <br /><br />But, yeah, you have a point. 200 million would buy a heck of a lot of paint tubes and the rich will eat themselves if given the opportunity (and the price were right.) <br /><br />Oye!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631042606380970249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285530.post-38759947790137258832010-07-29T13:40:22.427-05:002010-07-29T13:40:22.427-05:00Excuse me.

Show me what this buyer is doing for mankind, and maybe I can live with it. Meanwhile, art is for the greedy rich, and amateurs who just love the act of making. I do sense that these glasses of Adams are major, but the calamity about that is just a bunch of aristocratic elite shit.
