pondering over the given prices of these artists think that the abstract expressionists defeated their opponents. Decorative and expressiveness always win?

pondering over given prices on specified artists seems that the abstract Expressionists defeated their opponents. Ornamentality and expressivity always win?

Seriy, if compare prices on abstract expressionism with prices on pop art, then they very different at different representatives these techenii. Without in serious analysis, can remind you what lies on surface. Look prices on included in ten dearest artists peace Representative pop art Andy Warhol and Representative abstract expressionism Marka Rothko:

Top 10 world artists:
1. Picasso: $ 104.168 million
2. Gustav Klimt: $ 87.936 million
3. Frensis Bacon: $ 86.281 million
4. Vincent van Gogh: $ 82,500 mln
5. Claude Monet: $ 80.45 million
6. Pierre Auguste Renuar: $ 78.100 mln
7. Pieter Paul Rubens: $ 76.671 million
8. Mark Rothko: $ 72.840 mln
9. Andy Warhol: $ 71.720 mln
10. Paul Cezanne: $ 60.502 million
 
How see, they divide 9 - e and 8 - e place, difference between them makes approximately 1%from prices each.
Painters movement "narrative figuration" stand differently there relatively not expensive work, but there êàðòèíêè, for yielded dovol'no taki Serious sums.

Can Klimt and Picasso were abstract expressionism? I have my doubts on this score.
 
Private sale of all the same can not be regarded as reflecting the real state of things for rigorous analysis (if at all possible). There's a lot of questions. Despite the fact that the auction sale and may not always be objective, they are still in most cases occur at prices that are then published. This is the market ...

In general, you're right, pop - art several "loses" abstract expressionism in the prices. But let us see what happens next. The market is a market ...
