Probably still not.

It still has one indisputable advantage - he does not know how to draw.

That is, do you think that this is not the real purchase, and mafia money launderer ?

The notion that money launderers only "mafia" , as if to say better ... cartoon . )

I do not in any way deny the positive dynamics of the art market , especially given the more or less obvious , if not the objective of the investment attractiveness of the market in general. This has already been a lot written , and even the most cursory analysis seems to be said in favor of this kind of investment . Moreover, the work of art as a commodity unit , there are a number of other characteristic qualities that seem to increase its investment attractiveness. In other words , works of art , purchased /selected with " knowingly " and /or in accordance with specific investment strategy elaborated by far contribute to the preservation and /or augmentation of capital, at least on a par with the more common ( traditional ) investment instruments .

However , lately , it would be frivolous to dismiss the debate on the use of the art market ( at least in some of its segments) in order to deliberately dubious financial manipulations , including money laundering . Moreover, for example in Europe (to a greater extent than in the U.S. for example , as far as I know) , have moved from talk to action, trying to introduce all sorts of control mechanisms traditionally opaque , I would even say , actively masquerading art market.
For example , the fact that there is someone there , and the New York Times touched on this subject, speaks for itself . Here is the article where , just featured our " weight in diamonds " designer drug addict prodigy Basquiat :



P.S. This "theme " is rooted in a program called "Advancing American Art " developed by the CIA in 1947 and is funded from the state budget dollars. The fact that we are now discussing , namely the phenomenon of post-war American art ( by and large ) is a logical continuation of the propaganda of U.S. policy in the sphere of culture of the Cold War , the modified /amended under the current political economic realities. That is to say , reap the benefits of a half-century of labor.

Free capital (liquidity <! - ~ 5 ~ -> ) is concentrated in the hands of today financiers - they wash and then nothing.
And the strange way of laundered - insertion in advance investistrumenty questionable . And if tomorrow will open that the king is naked ? Is not it easier to invest in something that is considered reliable? ( Blue chips <! - ~ 6 ~ -> ) .
But here with the analysis - that all Hurst slows down growth (which is true ) , but what it should have been , chose a Hirst - and washed to health . No, menzhuyutsya guys with Hudson , who was not Herstushka .

In my opinion , talking about " money laundering " on the purchase of works of art - it's a very very narrow-minded nonsense people away from the topic, trying to understand their umishkom and somehow himself and also explain why these " bourgeois buy daub for such denzhischi ".

Another couple of trivial facts, and we figure out what pay 100 million dollars!

Well, what is it?
