Yes manipulation.
But.
Why to manipulate selected because Rothko ? That among other things explained why two bands in orange to pay millions? Can not you take any manipulation for you (and other lovers of realism) undisputed realist and drive at its price in the tens of millions? And the questions that- Well so much to explain about multiday glaze and the filigree technique.
Why go the hard way?

Just not a difficult walk.

Even the example of the forum you can see that formed self-sustaining process, the continuing disputes sealed with ... sorry, certified experts. Rothko - garbage or masterpiece? If you build a situation so that the realism in the public eye will be retrograde and cattle, it eats but some will build up from this group, forming a support for creativity Rothko, positioning itself as nebylo and progressive citizens.

Not to say - if only to say. Well, divide and conquer.

This is a purely technological, because arguing about taste stupid. Like - please, look at the pink to red ... Or, say, the green on blue :D> Ie it should not even be an issue. Painting - an illusion, illusion, focus. IMHO. And that's what's behind it - is another matter. And the other question - that's about it, then it makes sense to speculate as to collectors, investors and agents of the art market.

And the question of price - it is a matter of patriotism, not more. U.S.. As well as the price of the Russian classics. Just the nature of dollars more, hence the difference in the order of prices.

If you build , but if you make sure ... Why the extra work ? And there will always be those who will say that the children in the kindergarten because they can. Why not Aivazovsky ? The answer is, it's easier to convince to pay millions for a band than a superior technical execution - you convince me there.

Constantine , you read carefully what I wrote. This technology. Technology provocation. In art .

What about technology? Wait , this technique of graduates and glazunovki surikovki - ogogo! No worse Levitan , Repin , etc. Poprobuyka pokonkuriruy .

Frankly , a lot of opinions around , it's easier to ignore the course, but the answer is: "Do you draw ? " :)>

I noticed that it is very much quality work, and at the height of technology and performance ... But you look at the work and can not see anything . Either flat or empty <! - ~ 2 ~ - > Now is the time , money, which is reflected by the artists: instead to write, artists work ( pechalka this is , in my opinion, this is not important in art :(>

Strange logic you have , I would say " elusive ": buy for 80 mil . - It's obvious manipulation, bought for 1.5 thousand dollars. - Nothing good ... How much to take , it is necessary (to a worthwhile buy and avoid manipulation ), 10 tys.dol . ? 50? :confused:> :D>

someone like ...
:cool:>

Mann, I each, you've been reading test :D>

Have you watered technology and as a result, instead of events, though paradoxical, see some manipulation.
And instead of a discussion of the phenomenon though and Rothko, always discuss manipulation.

Ossspadi , but leave you alone Malevich with Rothko.
They have become textbook - familiar elements of modern culture.
Black Square 100 will soon be fulfilled. 100 YEARS !
Many things Rothko over 50 !
