What form of art are you willing to spend money on? 🤑
Mona Lisa
Sorry not interested in buying arts
Do more serial killers episodes please
Hmmmm 2 pence for my own pencil then do squiggles then put fake plastic painted with fake gold then hang it up and the painted astiv would cost 5 to 10 so 10 pound 2 pence
I will financially support local artists, especially those I know donate portions of their profits to local charities.
money laundering *has joined the chat*
aw I was about to say that :(

Or just keep selling something old with a bit higher value until it gets a million dollar price tag😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, starting with picasso
Lolq
The buyers are like literature teachers saying the author wanted the door to be blue because he was sad rather than just wanting it to be blue
You're the best for that comment
well in literature theyre gonna include the door being blue for a reason, the author wouldnt include that useless detail for no reason
@@carsonneal depends on the writer, and what they care about when writing.
But the rose was blue for a reason
Well said !
Because dumb people buy them.

Actually no.
Smart people buy them to clean their money.
Exactly
It’s just People fake being classy while looking at paintings that have no real appeal
Right
Those paintings are probably made by _Supreme_
It's easy to get help, don't waste your life.
Put Supreme on everything, they'll go more expensive
Zenn Lozanno i have roll royce phantom supreme
take colgate toothpaste, slap supreme on it, boom supreme toothpaste for 1000$
Retail isn’t expensive resell is, know the difference
even graffiti looks better than modern art
Aman Soni Light is right! I've actually seen some really breathtaking graffiti.
Yeah, graffiti takes actual effort to create the razor-sharp, brightly colored expression of individuality it is. Any old fool can scribble on a chalkboard or paint a stripe on canvas; the real effort is in bullsh*tting everyone into thinking it’s smart.
plz dont write my name in ur book
Go to Wynwood in Miami and see the talent there... those artists are making ends meet..
then you see somebody pour paint on a canvas and make 5000 times as much.. it's disgusting.
At least it took more skill and practice than a big blue square.
*Better sell my 6 year old drawing*
True
That would be 5$ right some of the Dumb art they put in museums like a bowl of fruit is a store painting and a old can of Campbell's soup is garbage I wouldn't put a can of corn in a museum.
what is your drawing of and why have you kept it a secret for six years?
@That Thing its worth far more then that
lol
As an artist myself, I get the "deeper meaning" thing. But at the same time it is so insulting to the people who have spent years even decades of their lives perfecting their craft and get paid peanuts when people probably spent ten minutes on that and it sells for that much. The line for me is simply taping a banana to a canvas with duct tape and calling it art and selling it for that price. That's just offensive.
It kind of goes both ways. In whole reality originality and soul alone is rather attractive by somewhat primeval instinct. So, mastering the craft of "arts" can lead to dead end. I've toyed with amateur arts (graphic design professionally) my whole life and the more I study the craft, the more lost I feel... So I do indeed occasionally think inside the box, a bottle of wine, and nasty 15 minutes! But these are my nasty 15 minutes. The fakes try to sell their expressionistic contemporary junk as their "15 minutes of privacy" when it's a fabricated lie.
Yes I agree. This world is so hard to understand.
10 minutes? How about 30 secs? I can make that blue yellow paint on Ms. Paint under 30 secs.
yeah exactly if its your too emotional go do the paint yourself in your house it will not take more tham two mins😂
no offence, there are intelligent people that understand when someone is trying to scam them, others buy whatever others explain to them
Money laundering. If you sale your chair for 1 million dollars you will have a visit from irs but if you say your chair is "art" then it will be ok. Of course, it is an oversimplification but you got the point.
makes sense, guess that's how they keep their money
+Thanos And No Bill - You have to pay tax on art you idiot, any tangible personal property is taxable almost everywhere. In the USA they don't use a national tax system, every State has their own tax laws, thus the +tax system.
The propaganda you were fed is from terrorist organizations that kidnapped media staff and forced them at gunpoint, that infiltrated the uneducated parts of Europe to the core. So we got the point, now tell us more Commy Euroboy.

This kind of art is the mumble rap equivalent in the art world.

Because people are *dumb* enough to pay for them
Actually it's a clever money laundering set up.
But if there where dumb they won't make it to civilization
@@isaiahphillip4112 it could be that or just art collectors. Whom know collectively their collection could be sold for 10x more.
Either way. Still tired of you Spongebob.

Imma just spray ketchup on a canvas and sell it for 1 million
Do it with your blood
Enjoy the millions

Waste of ketchup, leave the canvas empty and sell that telling everyone there's some big meaning behind it
And imma just take big dum,p on a canvas
try it, see if its that easy
A fool and his money I guess.
It reeks money laundering...
Zoidberg?
Actually it’s a business! Art industry is one which has one of the highest amount of profits! If you buy a rare or exclusive piece for a high value, it increases the price of the piece and others similar to it! That way you have the prospect to sell it for profit on future and also you can hide money by buying art!
It’s not fools, it’s intelligent business tactic! The only fool is you!
A fool and his money are easily parted. Maybe we are also fools for not cashing in?
A fool with more money than you ;)
I'm glad someone is taking advantage of these suckers!
Ik
One word : manipulation
Facts
Exactly!
Exagey
Yup
You will never convince me that the modern art value isn’t idiotic

Looks like I'm going to hand in a blank paper with a line in the middle to my teacher, and tell her, "You can retire now."
😂😂
So, what your saying is, if I trip on a paint bucket and splatter pink paint all over a white canvas, I can sell it for a million dollar as long as I never do it again?
Well,You also have to be well known
well , even if you repeat it , you won't be able to get the same thing again
The reboot of the tale "Emperor's New Clothes" is titled "The Emperor's Million Dollar Painting"
Cities without clean water, cities without reliable electrical power, children dying of famine, college students dropping out because they can’t pay the semester even with 3 jobs and a scholarship but yeah, some get to waste 43 millions on a blue square.
That’s why humanity will cease to exist.
Couldn’t agree more. Because heaven forbid they donate even a fraction of that money to those in need. I smell money laundering amongst those that buy...
As much as im suprised people pay 50 million for a blue square, But its their money and you cant do jack.
They worked for it they where smart enough to make that money
Tristan Vlogs yeah, mob dealers, corrupt politicians, murderers, robbers, work really hard and are very smart to get their millions. It’s called money laundering, sweetheart. They “pay” those millions for paintings so that their money gets cleaned.
@Me-me Mae-Mae Me? Oh, not much. I just spend half of the year volunteering in missions to bring meds, clean water and food every time disaster strikes, as a half-time member of the National Guard.The other half I spend it in college so I can get a PhD.
As an artist this makes my blood boil. An idiot can make over 100k for a banana duct-taped to a wall but even some of the best artists I "know" can't even get more than 1k for things I'd pay 100k for (if I had that type of money, at least)
2 words - money laundering

@@hahns1397 u called?
I wonder what great artists from the past would think if they saw these are the most valuable art today
Rich people buy this unnecessary painting because of the tax problem
They have to spend their money on something to discard the black or unlisted money
So they buy these kind of painting for showing the world how much interested they are in art
As simple as that
Art has come from the 'Mona Lisa' and 'A Starry Night' to a blue canvas with a line down the middle smh
im an artist and I don't even know
Those aren't art. They are made for investment. People buy them and sell it in future for higher price
Same
Yeah... I try to make my art look like it was done by someone skilled... not a 3 year old...
Your channel name says ur an idiot tho😏
Me too.
One of the most difficult ways to win a million dollars is to (dis)prove the Riemann hypothesis. One of the easiest ways to win a million (or more) dollars is to make a blank painting and call it “abstract art”.
Don't forget that you'll probably need to die too to get em out 🥺
Ok, do it then.
The saddest thing about this is that only when you die your painting becomes more expensive
Right now I am sitting on chair and making some irregular lines n thinking can it be sold for millions
I appreciate your work
Theres someone who sold a blank canvas
Kiki K lol
Kiki K why would anyone want that? XD
Yeah, companies who specialize in making blank canvases for the art community do the same thing all the time
A Blank Canvas, But Not Just A Blank Canfas.
Its an embodiment Of free will, Freedom, Creativity, Infinite Possibilities, And A White Blank as a Metaphore for every human Emotions.
Or its just a Blank Canvas.
Probably just a blank canvas.
@@Me-zl7mu It's whatever the buyer thinks it means. The buyer's never wrong when they're handing you money for no work. ;)
Money laundering.
There is no other explanation. Art does not pay as much tax.
Lozah like csgo skins lol
you say money laundering but theres no point of doing that by buying the painting that doesnt keep its price
Exactly. Because this whole paintings going for tens of millions is actually a recent phenomena. Within the last twenty years. Before then, paintings went for a fraction of that and the artists that did sell were historically famous like Leonardo or Picasso. Then sometime around the early 00's, you had this up swing of people selling and buying modern art at ridiculous prices coming from out of seemingly no where. Art from people who were only famous within the art circles. The only answer to this had to be money laundering.
@@entrex7596 lemme explain if I were a criminal and had billions I'd paint (whatever) and sell it to you for like 500 million "but I don't have that" you say but your an anonymous buyer (who is really my friend) who I pay say 10,000 to pose as the anonymous bidder and as it looks to the government and every one else I just sold my painting to you for 500 mil when in reality I just paid u 10 grand to legalize my now 499,990,000 dollars
And there are people starving somewhere
But there is a single starving artist who needs your money!

Now's not the time
You know you're rich and dumb if you buy an artwork that even a toddler can create, and possibly make something better.
Outrageous. You cant call these artworks dumb, it is just a slap in the face of art history
and you cant call these 'artworks' 😂😂😂😂
@@aryaveerdahiya811 lol yeah. We all can do it just spit some paint on the canvas....and BOOM! STONKS!
Did it have the Apple Logo at the back??
🤔
You're not funny
Yes, not just apple logo but the whole frame is made up of Titanium and the Apple logo is made of platinum and diamonds.
I gonna tell my 5 years sister to paint whatever she wants with the paint, and I'm going to sell that painting for millions.
You could
i remember it is because you can avoid taxes by that
How? You have to pay taxes for everything
Yesterday I dropped tomato sauce on my canvas
And Leonardo da Vinci's descendent told me that it was ART.
Looks like someone's going to get rich
😂
Me( after watching this video)
Well buddy its time to break out the old water colors that haven't been used since school and start making millions
Im just gonna "accidentally" spill some paint on a canvas, fake my death and voila a masterpiece 😂
Just do it😂
It is insanity, THIS IS MADNESS!
Thats why here in the West we get mocked
After looking at these paintings I have finally decided to let my little brother draw on my books
What is more expensive:
A reallistic paint from a famous artist that lived in 1400 AD and took him 2 years to draw or
A blue square?
HMMMMMMMMMM....
Love your videos. So informational
Thanks! ♥️
That moment when you realize a painting is worth more than your own life.
Oh wow I found out about the blue painting a few days ago before this vid. THANKS HUMANITIES TEACHER
There once was a monkey who made a painting by just randomly splashing coulor on a canvas. The collectors, unknowing the painter was a monkey, bought it for BIG money.
Conclusion: throw paint at a canvas - get rich
_Hey, it's art don't question it_

I learned about many art styles, and artists, drip art, abstract art, etc... I still don't understand how some pieces sell for so much...
Same! I don’t get it
if i would be millionaire i would buy alot of KFC
Trust me dude do not eat from KFC you don't even want too know how they raise their chickens I suggest you make your own food because most of the chicken companies sell us is not 100 percent chicken Read the ingredients just do it!
I'd buy some Pringles, lemon dots, and then eat myself into a diabetic coma.
@@TxRxAxP I'd buy a McDonald's themed Nintendo switch along with a side of large fries And fruit punch hi-c mixed with Sprite.
Levitikiss Bostick It’s sad though, the actual Colonel Sanders was critical about KFC due to how the chickens were raised and how the company got rid of his 11 Herbs and Spices.
R.I.P. Colonel Sanders.

Mmm.... gotta tell ya...
Dis chicken tender is lookin pretty appetizing
Art is something which awakes peoples imotions,art is something which is understandable , appealing and satisfying to most of the people wheather its visually, through sound, touch, movement,etc. Art is something, when people look at it they are able to see the artist's efforts. Art should make people think "Oh man.. i wish i could do that its so cool", " I wanna do it! "
It shows in history that art was never meant to awoke negative feelings,confused and weird feelings among people.
Your Work Is appreciated!!👍
🙏 Thanks!
Hey, who's the guy in your dp? I've been seeing it all over TH-cam..
It's time to draw some lines on canvas and who knows how much I will earn?
Lakshay khatri probably millions
Hey, guys, look at this line I drew!
You would have to be famous and dead to earn more than the cost of the canvas and paint.
billions
Probably will lose money unless you are pals with a successful gallery owner who will publicize your work.
Wow these video are pretty awesome keep it up :D

A fool and his money are soon parted.
I got it, they buy it call it depreciating value, and get a tax write off then sell it to another rich guy and continue the legal tax evasion!
Still the Renaissance and enlightenment era paintings are actually art
Well Ive got some 25 year old Masterpiece finger paintings full of tantrums, and emotions beyond adulting capacity I will now be selling for $1.5 million each... y’all better get them while I’m being nice with the price because it’s definitely worth way more....lol
They don't know on what they'd spend their money. In other words, They're dumb to buy a dumb painting.
A picture is a poem without words... 3 Things determine the value.. How old is it.. How many unique associations it has.. How thought provoking or emotionally charged it is..
A blue square sure is thought provoking and unique
(Through tears) Rectangles just make me so... EMOTIONAL
1: a poetry book that has a lot of meaning put into it being sold for 22.99$
2: a blue and yellow canvas that had no effort being put into it also having a lot of "DEEP" meaning in it being sold for 5M
which one would the population buy? the 2nd one. (even as someone who makes poems themselves, the painting means nothing to me.)
I like your sense of humor, people with money seem to want to buy artwork that does not make them think. As and artist of contemporary art my work has something to say I have been creating art for many years intentionally I have sold few. The cream always rises to the top even though it take many years
A stickman is better than that blue paint
I'll make something that doesnt make sense and sell it for 30 million dollars just to prove that people will buy anything that they think is a masterpiece
Money laundering, that’s it... Nothing about ‘art’.
I’m now taking offer on my painting the “ white paper” let start bid at 1 million
Whats the background soundtrack? Couldn't find it at the website. Might buy, it sounds really dope
You forgot money laundry
Because some dumb rich people think they're worth something
Aka they don't know about how much people they can save from hunger if they didn't buy them...
The banana duct taped to a canvas will forever fill me with rage.
I'm certainly glad I took *art* now 😂
*Who* knows when someone will be willing to *pay me* for random *childish doodles*
Art has always been pretentious..
Mordern art that is
The expression and the emotion of the artist is what matters. And ppl who judge a work of art by its variation and complexity end up making such videos. These artists put their feelings on canvas and they know what they're trying to say. They are not selling their art, they're selling their name. Ppl buy even the simplest of their works just to own a fragment of the artist's mind. Pls don't confuse selling their name with the quality of their art. Most of these so called simple paintings are sold for an exorbitant amount because it was made by a renowned artist. And if you do not understand the abstraction of an artist's work, either go educate yourself or just don't look at it because the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
But I really don't think a banana taped to a wall is expressing anything
Maybe I should start practicing scribbling 😁
Infographic:"these painting give combination of feeling such as shock,confusion,disbelief"
Me:ikr
nahh, still dumb. sure people with money can do whatever they want. but that piece definitely not worth that amount of money.
A popular painter draws a white line on a blue canvas and gets million. If a normal person would do the exact same, would it get that much? No.
Thats the reason why those prices are just dumb imo. It depends on who did it and not what it is.
My art will be sold for millions one day and all that money will go to the people who never thought help was going to come.
This reminds me of that spongebob episode where squidward makes a masterpiece then Patrick just scribbles and it magnificant
Like people listen to Justin Bieber
Modern Art is like modern music
