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

Well, what is it?
His grandmother was Russian in Odessa?
Or does it live in the studio deaf beaver?
Danes with the Dutch like it.

Or grandfather Uzbek from Vitebsk.

in Europe (I think in America ) every extra cent control how much income you declare how much you spend , even as a driving vacation a year.
In this case, you can buy (modern ) art for cash and remain incognito (and in a different country) . The same pattern can be passed to children and grandchildren (without taxes) . And since 25%tax on the amount bequeathed .. Some collections of many centuries (the theme as old as time )
If there is a "black" income from the illegal activity , the content gallery (! ) Is also often a way out. Hence, there are huge amounts of money on promotion , etc.
All of these realities , such opposing sublime <! - 8 ~ ~ ->
( there are still many complex mechanisms that are known to a narrow circle )

When our ( Russian Federation) officials, businessmen will be difficult to hide the 25th property , purchased in the name of second cousin's aunt , they will also buy ( first bars of gold , diamonds ) , and then art .

Where does appear unaccounted cash , if " every extra cent control " ?

You enter this " inner circle "?

[Hollandup]

Nah , do not enter " the inner circle " of course .. but in contact several times. Much was also not clear to me in this art world.

" white " income , gone shopping for a noble cause of modern art ( or exhibit where art is purchased in the form of remuneration) is almost sponsorship (! ) can easily turn into a "black" cash ( after a time on the contrary become "white " )

'm not going there , " warp " the art community ..

A million sales for the end product of a chain. Money is not a cash , but out of funds, and of offsherov . Yes, and just income ( hypothetically earned honestly ) is no longer in the store than art .. good option

[Seriy]

As it is not very clear. Selling at auction is a legal income . And on inheritance tax Picasso created the Picasso Museum in Paris , and all the pictures.
Also completely unrealistic to pay 140 million in cash at the auction .
Only convenient for the legalization of the moment- if someone buys from a private individual for allegedly painting 5 thousand dollars and a few years later to sell for 500 thousand then receive legal income . But uncomfortable that neither Picasso nor Bacon can not show that he bought for 5 thousand
So, you have to buy little-known authors , and they, just no one buys.

zarajara, the relationship between price and quality, the talent is. Picasso's genius , Lucian Freud , technically amazing artist on the Internet to see, but alive staggering. We also have a Bacon and equipment , and the composition and meaning , and novelty .
Basquiat also not chosen at random , it is just a worthy successor to the post-war American expressionists.
Another thing , you're right , when it comes to which of the outstanding artists will sell 100 million What's the difference who? So you can head and share different bars , who will sell for 900 thousand different in talent from someone who for 850 thousand ? It is important that they differ both from those who sell for $ 800

 Maybe deaf beaver and two-headed crocodile . In any case, no one IMHO does not understand the pricing mechanism and no one understands why. Definitely not for the art , even if it is really like for like so much no one gives .
The most lousy when you try to explain to the students that they need to draw a lot of learning to do it well. Do you feel ... Well, in general feel stupid . That's just today was such a conversation . They say that in general there is no point to draw : it is thanks, Basquiat , Koons and others like them . And really - why? To what? Now it is a completely separate activity are not related to sales.
There is no relation price - quality, price - the talent , the price - skill. And you never know for the next time someone tells fortune finger .
142.5 million for Bacon ! he twice steeper Rubens ?
And it already seems simple Funny , when under this price someone starts to talk about how the artist is talented . It is understandable that it no longer has any value. And the fact that the art is not in any way related .
This is a purely psychological effect, where everyone called plain woman beautiful after a while you start to find her attractive , and only then on their own initiative seek in it something beautiful and funny thing - when you find <! - ~ 7 ~ ->

Good Rubens in museums, the market things his studio as a rule.

zarajara, in general, of course, wrong to compare today's market price for the artist of the XVII century and our contemporary (Bacon died 20 years ago, in '92).

It's like a broken: that Mozart died in poverty and put it in a reproach Madonna.

Good Rubens in museums, market things tend to his studio .

I like a bit of it. Prices this level , it is not the price of /for art . This is a pure abstraction . It's as if a picture was worth $ 1 - it's not its price , just a figure . Because in fact there is no reason not to , or for the other.
Well, let's not Rubens , and the same Goncharova, for 6 million as I can remember . 20 times better?
Seriy, genius , talent, yes please , you just announcing now very very abstract and theoretical concepts that are not directly transferred to the cost , especially in this price .
Warhol urinated on canvas - it's worth 10 million because he is a genius ?
It seems to me that this kind of game, which is already in itself almost without depending on the object. Rather there is a number of objects that are suitable to all believe that the game is going on around them.
But it is rather closer to the fetishism than money laundering , IMHO, then look in vain for the rational .

The prices of this level, it is not the price of /for the Arts.
This is the pure abstraction.

And the amount of such a level for me is too " pure abstraction ".
