most of the people in the comments have no culture and a boring idea that art needs to be realistic. Art is a concept, why are we taught in school that drawing realistic works makes us a great artist? Realism is boring and nothing new, these artists opened up doors too what defines art and works are fucking beautiful
The accumulation of art and business in a society based on creating financial values on probable expectations. Expectations drawn from the science of economics. Which in turn is a huge construct of other sciences like Psychology, Mathmatics, Politics.... It's fundamental laws and theories are changing at a retarded pace and often has to be based on retarded assumptions and simplifications to make shit work for every day capitalism. And then you combine that shit with art xD. tl:dr: shit's the real satire
Why can't some of you appreciate this art for the beauty it simply possesses?Why is the price such a concern you have?If people have this money to spend,why not!!
Why don't you appreciate the amount of money that they want to sell it? That painting took at most a month, while that figures of money most the people in the world cannot afford in their lifetime.
Exactly. People choose to spend money on what they like it's no different from buying a yatch or a second house. I don't get why people should have issues on how someone decides to spend his own money on.
Just a response to those commenting on the value of the works. Part of the reason behind the high estimates is the perception of exclusivity. Wealthy people love the idea that something they perceive as valuable, beautiful and important is deemed worthless by the ignorant masses. The fact that commoners can't see past "the scribbling of a talentless child" makes the works all that more attractive.
Art is how you view it!!You simply cannot appreciate someone's originality and creativity,others can.Obviously you have a very narrow minded idea of what art is.
So i just calculated that $450 million US today would be around 3.12 million Florins in 1500 (352,223 ounces troy of gold at 0.1125 ounces in each coin). That's about 20 times what the Medici banks held in deposit.
😂😂😂 You didn’t take into account for inflation and the fact that florins have inherent worth to them being made of pure gold. Also you have to take into consideration the relative net worth to that contemporary economy. If the medicis accounted for 30% of the Florence economy than that would an they have an exponential net worth in comparison to a mere 450 million in a token economy 😂😂😂
Interesting to me that the painting by Kerry James Marshall is only valued at $1 million dollars while Rothko and Twombly's paintings are above $20 million ?
Unknown bidder paid $400M dollars for Salvator Mundi, PLUS Christi's tacked on premium of $50,312,500. Wow! What kind of billionaire can fork over that kind of money for one piece of artwork? I hope the Christmas bonuses are substantial this year at Christi's.
maybe if some of you had studied art at all you could see why these paintings are so valuable. "my kid can draw that" has to be the laziest art criticism, used over and over.
I'm going to let you all in on a secret. That third canvas painting was done by my 4 year old son. How it got into Christie's is a secret however it helped that my son is called Piccroissant.
How can people say anything bad about this art style? This is for people who have been through a lot and have a distinct sense of sophistication and overall wisdom. It takes a person who feels immensely to create this style. I do realism when I'm more happy. I do abstract when I'm depressed. I'm a very depressed person. I can see the pain they've manifested into these rushed brush strokes and paint splatters. It's raw emotion. And not just natural human instinct, but also our most animal instincts. If you think this is a joke, I'm sorry but you're a joke. Go fall into a crowd you dont even understand.
Compmaturism is the most important trend in contemporary art.The prices of artworks still grow up. Collectors are looking for the best artworks from 2017-2019.
This is a joke right? I studied art pretty much my whole life and those first 3 peices are absolutely trash to be paying that much for it. No matter the cultural revelance the artists may have had, this peices are just absurd.
It's as if these, "painters," intended to delegitimize the purpose of art, the people telling you they expect to sell any of these for tens of millions of dollars certainly intend to do that anyway.
Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo, Rembrandt. This to me is priceless art and something to admire ! Incredible. Sorry but I just don’t get what modern art is these days. It’s unique yes but special and Masterclass. No. As for the money well they gotta spend it on something lol.
Your Not paying millions of Dollars for the Art work , Your paying for that signature at the bottom right corner of the Painting . . I'm a self taught Artist .
Stand in front of an actual painting by Rothko and say that. Looking at these colours through lenses, Internet, UA-cam, your monitor, gives you a basic idea that 'red and orange' were involved. Stand in front of the painting and you will see that media cannot reproduce that multi-layered depth of colour.
For all those WTF comments incomming, I would disagree, art is also a way to savely store, preserve and send money. There are even a few deductibles(tax reductions) you can get when purchasing art for a business or as a private person.
The art market is more corrupt than is politics... All of the galleries and auction agree to promote, pump up carefully selected artist...duhhh. So corrupted. The eyes don't lie, that art makes a total fool out of its busters...
These paintings should be used as demos in art schools to inspire students who don't think they have the talent to succeed.
😂😂😂😂 You must be protected at all cost...
Even the reporter can't hold hold back the laughter! 😂

finally, someone wit common sense
the cheapest was the most beautiful, what the hell was that crayons on white board ???????????????????
Truth.. Real painting not childlike or abstract.. 😁
I am happy that people in the comments see how insane the art world is that pieces like this go for more than most people will earn in a lifetime
You have to understand a lot of the value comes from the influence they had on other artists.
I can't tell if this is a parody or not.
Believe it or not, it isn't parody: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-16/da-vinci-s-christ-portrait-shatters-art-record-at-450-million

Our life is a joke
@@business So how goes the selling-art-for-money-laundering business going, gentlemen?
1:00 > "It is an estimate of $30Mi"
In the kindergarten you can find similar stuff for free.
many only buy to make a profit. it's an investment
I laugh hahahaaaaa
If you find any of this quality, call me. I'll pay you a finders fee.
I think the size of the paintings magnifies their value
Roger Nevez ... You are wrong ... you would find far better quality at a kindergarten ;-)

i call bullshit on those prices
Wow! I did not know my son's painting actually worth 30M.
@johnny walker OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@johnny walker exactly, gl your son is a fucking failure as an artist.
What a dumb comment.
@Major Cbass or money laundering
I love how they zoom in on the crossing of the lines like wow here we have a place where the crayons from the left and right hand crossed
Actually the "sunset" is made by a 2 year old who was playing with crayons.
Everyone in the comments who is pissed should watch the Adam ruins everything on the fine art market

Amazing!
should be called "inside Christie's underground money laundering haven" because this is not art
how about you define what art is then?
Oscar, Davis is still in 2nd grade.
its to avoid taxes and the rich control it
Art is how you view it!!You simply cannot appreciate someone's originality and creativity,others can.Obviously you have a very narrow minded idea of what art is.
Phenomenal. This world.
Alex is the Salvatore Mundy auction phone guy.. right??
Sunset Is worth that 20 million & ANYONE PIECE of my artwork is 20 million in ....40 years to the day
I always wonder what would these deceased artists say about their paintings being sold for millions of dollars
So i just calculated that $450 million US today would be around 3.12 million Florins in 1500 (352,223 ounces troy of gold at 0.1125 ounces in each coin). That's about 20 times what the Medici banks held in deposit.

I bet the artists who made these "incredible" paintings is laughing their asses off knowing how much money people are actually paying for it
A lot of them died of drug overdoses or committed suicide.
@Juan Perez
Twombly’s dead now.
@@drmodestoesq very sad to hear
Considering they're probably not the ones who will be reaping the millions of dollar rewards, I doubt so
Interesting to me that the painting by Kerry James Marshall is only valued at $1 million dollars while Rothko and Twombly's paintings are above $20 million ?
Rome' Miller they’ll wait until he’s dead smh.
They more than tripled in value since you made this video
Next time my niece draws something i am going to be a millionaire
Amazing work of and beauty.
Speculation is everywhere
honeyspoon duh
Relax guys, this video is actually the unreleased tapes of April Fools of 2017.
I am 100% clueless about how the art market works, it seems that less technical art skills result in higher prices.
The third piece of artwork actually seemed like it was worth the money
Rothko was NOT an abstract painter.
Unknown bidder paid $400M dollars for Salvator Mundi, PLUS Christi's tacked on premium of $50,312,500. Wow! What kind of billionaire can fork over that kind of money for one piece of artwork? I hope the Christmas bonuses are substantial this year at Christi's.

And here i worked 14 hours a day just to get 300$/month, why my life is a joke
The wildest of the mod , a taunting slant , Butte fine!
What!! No Bob Ross!!!!
Very beautiful

No I disagree with you.
@Juan Perez Well said
Oh I see money laundering in these paintings.
That’s a beautiful art.

So a child is on the same metal wavelength as a depressed artist? Says more about the artist than the child.
are all the artists he named studying in kindergarten !!!!😂😂😂
Art of “selling”
Compmaturism is the most important trend in contemporary art.The prices of artworks still grow up. Collectors are looking for the best artworks from 2017-2019.
Comment section is so dry wtf
I never knew a bunch of scribbles is worth more than my life.
I never thought everyone were an artist
compmaturism is becoming a visible new trend in contemporary art.
Will have to do some research on Cy Twombly to figure out his technique
That Kerry James Marshall with the darkskin is superfire tho. Wish I could afford it
I think these works of art are worth every penny...that’s every penny I have, which are like 3. So yes, I will pay a penny each.
it´s beautifull the arts...
Interesting how Kerry James Marshall is on the cheap end.
That color matching of the two cameras tho...
Axle Foley: Get the fuck out of here!
abstract! lol
American gallaries; " **the better the art, the cheaper it is**"
This is a joke right? I studied art pretty much my whole life and those first 3 peices are absolutely trash to be paying that much for it. No matter the cultural revelance the artists may have had, this peices are just absurd.
You studied art yet you don’t know who basquiat is?
You didnt study art with a comment like that
peacful pi Hi Troll!
I'm pretty sure all they show is that we've been wasting out lives working jobs with whole time...
looks like someone studying art in pre school.
do rich people really hate money that much?!?!!?
I feel art is meant for all of us and shouldn't be kept underground
I think the one who made the price or assumes is the funny guy 🐙
1:58 wow really ? are you kidding me ?
children are gonna be millionaires
Cy Twombly is one of the most famous artist in the world
jejfcjsksk sw he is trash
wow my comment was a year ago, i said that and i will say it again, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
It's as if these, "painters," intended to delegitimize the purpose of art, the people telling you they expect to sell any of these for tens of millions of dollars certainly intend to do that anyway.
What is the purpose of art?
It's impossible to explain to black and white thinkers or, "splitters," for starters.
Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo, Rembrandt. This to me is priceless art and something to admire ! Incredible. Sorry but I just don’t get what modern art is these days. It’s unique yes but special and Masterclass. No. As for the money well they gotta spend it on something lol.
Your Not paying millions of Dollars for the Art work , Your paying for that signature at the bottom right corner of the Painting . . I'm a self taught Artist .
looks like kids made them
In this case the comment section DOES know more than "the intellectuals"
I love art but why do such crappy looking pieces cost millions
This is how rich people flex, also would not be surprised if it was a way to embezzle money... Rich people are some interesting creatures.
The house painting company I worked for this year could have made the second one.
Stand in front of an actual painting by Rothko and say that.

that Twombly's price is a joke
Emperor’s new clothes
i call bull
How did i get there
20 million dollars for scribbles that can be done by toddlers. What a rip off.
I wish i knew i could be a milionaire while learning how to hold and make random strokes with my marker while a kid
Excelente
Easy way to launder money lul
I can tell you guys my paintings are much better than them. You can call me if you are interested in trash.
For all those WTF comments incomming, I would disagree, art is also a way to savely store, preserve and send money. There are even a few deductibles(tax reductions) you can get when purchasing art for a business or as a private person.

Those first 3 pieces are garbage. Romantic Era art to this crap...what happened?
I'm confused.
a bunch of scribbles is 20m dollars... k 1 sec im gonna go throw paint at a wall cut it out then sell it to a museum for 50 mil
I'll give you $10 for the Rothko canvas and paint over it
Wtf... I could paint that in like 30mins...
It's not Art [= divine energies] but only the evil filth of money.
The art market is more corrupt than is politics...
All of the galleries and auction agree to promote, pump up carefully selected artist...duhhh.
So corrupted. The eyes don't lie, that art makes a total fool out of its busters...
Filosofi in every line . ,
kindergarten artists make much more puzzle pictures than this
he paints with sixes
The highest prices arw fetched by people possesed when painting or demons themselves painting just as in the world of fashion
Some of them look terrible. Im going to buy some canvases and paints. I would advise you all to do the same
I'd rather spend my $35,000,000 on 10,000,000 burgers instead of these waste of crap.
Art? My ASS
ART MY ASS THIS IS A LEGAL WSY TO WASH YOUR MONEY..
can we all agree that paintings are just way for narcos to launder money?
