It’s the same in the crypto space as well. There are plenty of talented artist out there but the ones that sells the most looks like they were made by a 5 year old
Mind you, just because you see a piece in a museum doesn't mean the artist is rich. You don't necessarily make a lot of money when exhibiting in a museum. That is if you are not super famous. Also in a museum art isn't usually sold, that would be a gallery. Or an auction. I suppose the more famous you get, the bigger the money streams you can enter, and the easier it is to get into contact with the whole money laundering thing. But at low levels, (most artists) not a chance.
People from “the art world” should be here stating that this isn’t “modern” art. Modern art took place from 1860 through 1975 or so. This is contemporary art. Not modern art. Modern is the era which has passed.

Its definitely tax fraud. Get some artist to slap $300 of paint on a canvas, get an appraiser to appraise it at 90,000 then donate it to an art museum and write it off.

I was an arthoe in highschool with a couple friends. We took a field trip to various art museums downtown toronto. Came across one very small one with a bunch of paintings down a small hallway that led to a very messy kitchen with half eaten food, a can of baked beans half empty, a knife, a couch... bc there was no attempt at closing it off as a staff area we kept making jokes that it was an 'installation art piece' while taking crude pictures and fooling around. Such a fun day
As someone that studied art pretty deeply, this isn’t exactly wrong, but there’s certainly a lot of history and theory to consider… that being said, the outside perception of the art world kinda gets forgotten and glossed over by people within it. It’s easy to forget that a lot of it is in fact a way to store wealth at the end of the day.
Was gonna say that alot of it's just a way to launder money between the wealthy. Like, regardless of the theory behind a work and the statement it may seemingly be trying to make, do you really believe some rich guy out there buys a giant 50x64 canvas with a single splash of orange paint on one corner actually thinks it's worth that much? Hell, no. They bought it for 78,000 because they know the artist and they're both part of a group that has wealthy socialites in it that want to preserve their wealth. Does that mean the artist's intention is untrue? Not necessarily, but rational people don't throw large sums of money to what can be amounted to luxury vanity items(not all color theorist art and colorist art is vanity, but this bullshitter type artist does exist in the postmodern art world and they do sell work. This is why).
The film team from my highschool made a video making fun of modern art... for a film convention. The plot was basically someone was supposed to make this art for a rich gal coming to visit, but they had artist block, and just sold a blank canvas fir like a lot of money to this person. It was honestly a well shot video ngl
Modern art can be anything. In fact a spec of dirt on the kitchen floor was so popular my mom had to take a photo with her phone and send it to me while I was in the men's room. It says "Son, I love your work and all you do, but can you perhaps create another master piece when you're out the bathroom? " my response "👍🏽" I re swept the kitchen and everything I missed. Seconds later "photo received" her "Thank you son for this master piece, the house is so clean I could eat anywhere!" Again me "👍🏽" And that ladies and gents is modern art in various forms and situations
So on point. Like, I've never understood the hype about Banksy. Dude uses stencils to make simplistic graffiti that could at best be called, "Cute," and he's considered some sort of artistic genius.
The worst part is that some people genuinely defends this trash. Mediocrity has really degenerated the human mind. That's why great game franchises like Splinter Cell, Tenchu, Red Faction, and more get left by the wasteside, while MCU and typical slop have great sales. People have settled for less.
It's painful how true to reality this is. I would love that oil painting 🖼 😍. Painstaking work, emotion, beauty, it has all the elements that true art 🎨 possesses. But it is unappreciated.
I can understand and appreciate art being abstract. But paying millions of dollars for something that objectively doesn’t look good is stupid, and it’s so unfair that great art made by legitimately talented people gets passed over for like 15 bucks
@@soundrogue4472 To be fair, I didn't know if product placement in this way would officially be considered an ad or not but it served the purpose of me learning the name and figuring out what kind of drink it was on my own.
This is exactly what it feels like. The thing about art is that it’s everything and everywhere. It’s subjective, it can mean anything to anyone. Build enough hype around a piece and an artist and it’s consensus gentium. Build enough hype around anything and it becomes consensus gentium. Celebrities are used to influence a crowd because they already have power. Some well marketed movies sell better because of their marketing and exposure to the world and they may also contain “Hollywood” elements. Marketing for a company may be really good, appealing commercials, people “give it a try” because everyone else is doing it, even if they don’t continue to use the service, their contribution still keeps the business afloat. People like abstract art because they can apply their own meaning to it, when looking at it, it is a subjective experience different for everyone. All art is like that but the more abstract, the more room there is to apply any meaning you want it to have which means you can also apply monetary value. If I was a nobody and splashed a bucket of red paint on a canvas and tried selling it for a hundred thousand dollars, people would start to wonder about it, they would first say that’s ridiculous but then they would wonder why I valued this ridiculous piece for that much, it must mean something. So they dig deep and think more and more about it and so on. The more visually specific an artwork is, the less people are able to apply their own meaning to it. Doesn’t mean that it’s worth less or people won’t find value in it, it just means less people are likely to “like” or acquire it. Just my two cents 😊
A lot of my SuchArt pieces ended up looking a lot like that after the game's novelty wore off... then I tanked my framerate by repainting my entire studio. Good times.
On a serious note, I’d argue that the grey hoodie character type plays a big part of why this sort of stuff continues, because grey hoodie man didn’t even step up when he could have gotten the dog painting for FREE. In real life, I want to say that people gotta be more vocal of their tastes unless they actually like the sort of things that the “majority” of people gravitate towards. I mean, rich and popular people can simply hire hype men to act like they support their work to socially manipulate others into wanting to ride the bandwagon. And unless they were “hired”/bribed into being a supporter, I’d say that people should AT THE VERY LEAST anonymously support the things they truly like instead of letting it fade into nothingness
There is this one modern srt piece that's just a blue canvas because tje artist MADE a NEW BLUE pigment/paint for it. Frankly a lot of modern art is art that either needs explanation or wants you to think about it
Wow, that red square canvas is really giving me flashbacks to Damian Hirst's dot paintings. Like, sure, feels a bit pop as decoration, and it's decent if your room's theme matches it. But at that price tag?? Hell to the no. Not worth it. I get why some conceptual art pieces can get expensive and famous, but this ain't it. I'd rather find a kinetic sculpture that's beautiful and I know well enough the amount of expertise needed to create it.
ngl one of my favourite artists is rothko.. such an interesting and twisted person. as an artist, i have learned so much about color mixing and of what materials it can be mixed of. but outside of my niche bubble everybody just looks at a red painted wall and cant do shit with it. and thats cool too.
Art "connoisseurs" are always fun to laugh at for me. Modern art for the most part is a joke. Someone can make something on the level of "the garden of earthly desires" or "the raft of Medusa" and get very little recognition. Someone can literally put a word with crazy font on a canvas and sell that for over 100k. Much like the American diet, these artistic fields are filled with junk food. A market of mass produced bs that "experts" tell you to just shut up and consume product. But hey, art is subjective so what do I know.
That's because technical skill + emotional and intellectual implication = art. People hate modern art because not only there is no technical skill but also because those pieces and performances don't say anything, they're empty and overpriced
That's pretty on point, a skilled artist can build up a fan base in the 300-1500 range; but if they aren't repped by someone who has been deemed to have the authority to bring someone to the next level then it's very unlikely they'll rise above that level. Before building up a fan base, what used to get 100-400 now has no demand in part due to cheap copyists in China (some legit skilled artists and some just print on canvas and cover in crackle glaze.)
Art is tax deductible in many financial situations, and has the opportunity to greatly appreciate in value. This makes it a worthy investment tool for the rich, and they are propping up the industry they profit from since it functions as a legal tax haven. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

There is this one modern srt piece that's just a blue canvas because tje artist MADE a NEW BLUE pigment/paint for it. Frankly a lot of modern art is art that either needs explanation or wants you to think about it
Another Absolute BANGER!! from Rich Black Guy
Who agrees👇
100 Dollars
You forgot “no clapping, it scares the artwork”
i like how "red" wasnt even red, it was pink.
"I WILL RIP OUT MY KIDNEY RIGHT NOW" *outro music starts playing*
As an artist…I hate how true this is 😂 😭
The Irony which doesn’t need to be stated, but those truly gifted are under appreciated by the status quo unlearned and devoid of true depth …
"A beautiful portrait of a cute dog? I can't use that to launder money!" - some rich person, probably
Wow, that red square canvas is really giving me flashbacks to Damian Hirst's dot paintings. Like, sure, feels a bit pop as decoration, and it's decent if your room's theme matches it. But at that price tag?? Hell to the no. Not worth it.
I get why some conceptual art pieces can get expensive and famous, but this ain't it. I'd rather find a kinetic sculpture that's beautiful and I know well enough the amount of expertise needed to create it.
"Sold to the Rich Black Guy in the back!"
That's the name of the channel Ô.Ô
I will rip out my kidney right now 😂😂 the end caught me
I remember my friend took me to one and i was just like him confused
ngl one of my favourite artists is rothko.. such an interesting and twisted person. as an artist, i have learned so much about color mixing and of what materials it can be mixed of.
but outside of my niche bubble everybody just looks at a red painted wall and cant do shit with it. and thats cool too.
What if someone painted Trump’s face on Mona Lisa’s body?
This ain't ChatGpt
How much would someone pay for that?
Beeple would probably do that
Damn, that'd be hot
It’d probably describe the worship of the MAGA cult
I’d get it for $10000
if anyone's interested in knowing how this becomes a thing, study the history of french gallery and you'll know. TLDR: they are financial institute.
Art "connoisseurs" are always fun to laugh at for me. Modern art for the most part is a joke. Someone can make something on the level of "the garden of earthly desires" or "the raft of Medusa" and get very little recognition. Someone can literally put a word with crazy font on a canvas and sell that for over 100k. Much like the American diet, these artistic fields are filled with junk food. A market of mass produced bs that "experts" tell you to just shut up and consume product. But hey, art is subjective so what do I know.

There's a difference between The Art and Tax Evasion through paid actors
Wow this art is amazing 🥺
Now the algorithm is sending me all the videos I missed
It's So Inspirational
Art doesn't have to be beautiful. For some reason the majority of people think that in art: effort and beauty = better art
That's because technical skill + emotional and intellectual implication = art. People hate modern art because not only there is no technical skill but also because those pieces and performances don't say anything, they're empty and overpriced
Nice😊
I love the microphone. Its just an XLR plug.
Isn't "high art" like this mostly just used as a means to launder money?
That's pretty on point, a skilled artist can build up a fan base in the 300-1500 range; but if they aren't repped by someone who has been deemed to have the authority to bring someone to the next level then it's very unlikely they'll rise above that level. Before building up a fan base, what used to get 100-400 now has no demand in part due to cheap copyists in China (some legit skilled artists and some just print on canvas and cover in crackle glaze.)
"I will rip out my kidney right now" 💀
Modern art is like this because now they don't let anyone fail art school anymore
3:13 Is that a reference to his older videos?
Art is tax deductible in many financial situations, and has the opportunity to greatly appreciate in value. This makes it a worthy investment tool for the rich, and they are propping up the industry they profit from since it functions as a legal tax haven.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
your videos are beyond hilarious you need to release more content dude 👍
The end was fucking hilarious
truly inspirational, red
yo i didnt know you were chill like dat
Masterpiece
Guys watch the documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop", this video reminds me of that.
If you read the book, ‘the Bitcoin standard’, you’ll understand why modern art sucks. It seems like a stretch I know 😂
0:39 this remember me the draw box of the pilot in the little prince 😅
Rich Black Guy, are you a rich black guy?
well he ain’t a poor white man
His name is rich and he’s a black guy
Remeber the Austrian painter who got reject in Art School in Vienna and later he painted the whole Europe with blood.
