darling LCR, thank you very much for such a thematic material), although their hatred for the surrealist I just can not, but very interesting to learn about the existence of such people and their creativity.
P.S. Anton Ruskens, the picture in the middle, well, exactly like Basquiat, only 30 years earlier ... and you say contemporary art))))

Cuckoo, dear Admin

Dear LCR, because you have a lot of things up there?

And what if dear Webmaster complicate the task. And to make the game, which would have been without the signatures and pictures on virtual prices, and participants were able to collect virtual collection on a limited amount. After a set period of time would be summed up, who managed to gather the most expensive collection in terms of real top prices authors of these works.
Well, something like a contest stockbrokers.

A very literate must sift through some filter for the use of insider information.: D

[LCR]

I vote for this game all his own hands (regretting that I have - not Shiva), but it seems to me that stories about the directions do not need to touch, if we will publish them without the guidance of the author, all confused.
Anonymous pictures for the game, I'll dial so that you do not seem enough!
And the second point: we must ask our overall favorite АДМИНА provide us a place to play - on my website is a place where all write different nonsense, the majority's decision forumistov called him my name and tell you right away - I never took it as a compliment)))) ))))
