It's funny eh?
I look at Jackson Pollock paint splotches and think "A monkey could do this"(or so I think) and they sell for jillions. I simply don't get it.
Art work like this to me is "blue collar art". It is easy to appreciate without an Art History PHD and a 40 foot container full of pretentiousness.
I had never heard of this fella Kunstler before yesterday and that one really stood out......will be looking up the Vargas fella too.
