- Modern art is expensive. From completely white canvases to simple abstract colours, these seemingly basic works can cost you millions. So what makes their price so high and how can they possibly be worth this much money?

Why Modern Art Is So Expensive | So Expensive
Before, I do not understand why modern art is very expensive. But after watching this, I still do not understand why modern art is so expensive.
Oddly, me too.
Yea this video tells nothing lmao
Modern art is expensive because it is one of the easiest ways to launder money.
Same

I have a painting to sell. Its a white canvas that wasnt even touched by paint. I call it nothingness. Starting bid is 5 million.
H B 🤣🤣🤣
☝️ 5.5 million in nothing dollars lol
@@ffrebello sorry, somebody dm'ed me 9.8million before ur bid
I must have it!!!
@@Marcel-il2te put a bid on it, or are you all talk?
I feel bad for all the artists with actual skills and creativity being unnoticed out there
When it comes to art and business it isn't about talent or skill but more about who you know
I think they are aware you can't do it for the money.
The most wealthy living artists are called "art fabricators" they don't actually make it. The biggest art dealer in the world is called the PT Barnum of the art world.
People with actual talents and skills are plenty. Beauty is abundant and plentiful, therefore cheap. Scarcity is what costs.
C O I’m sure all the kindergarten kids could produce all these pieces of modern contemporary shits.
To me, this is a slap in the face for every hard working, underpaid animators and comic artists.
Thank you 😭😭🙏
Don't worry, a lot of these artists don't see much of a return either. A lot of money earned by artists actually goes to art dealers and galleries.
And even for every people able to make beautifull paint made whit oil of flowers or anything realist and I admit it’s not original but at least it look good and there is work to make it
Ahhh yes because Stan Lee has only made pennies from his comics what a slap in the face
Throw some paint on a canvas on the side for extra money.
Feels like the secret of modern art is not the art skill itself, but the skill about how good are you at persuading people into something
It's money laundering and tax frauds.
scamming people is a form of art
Most artists dont create to make a fortune. Jeff Koons and Diamen Hirst are exceptions.
@@emperorthylord You can't launder money through art and it be the dumbest way.
Except most Modern Artist are dead, and the one that are selling high are dead. Also Modern art is not all cubism, Minimalism, Impressionism, Expressionism, and Abstract, they are many styles each with their own set of rules and philosophy.
As an artist I find this.. how do I say it, sarcastically irritating.
I luckily have not reached too deep into this passion I have... after watching this video it’s like destroying something that resembles who I am... now I feel like it is pointless to understand the anatomy of the human body, the techniques of brushes, pen and pencils, etc, because all these will result in a piece “less beautiful” than what museum artists creates.
@@henrywu8500 ik it is disappointing but it is never useless, you should never give up on something you like.. no matter what others think about it.. those pieces that got sold for high prices are the best example that money doesn't truly value your art
Me too i hated it in art college .
@@henrywu8500 yeah, it made me feel the same way...
Though I can't really call myself a good artist, I enjoy drawing, from each sketch to the lineart. And I can't help but agree with you. . . I can't even fathom wth happened to modern art.
Basically rich people spend millions on random art to launder their money, so they don’t have to pay taxes since it counts as a donation/charity.
Aaaand BINGO..here we have the actual answer.
Wow that's actually very true
You have the right idea my friend
This is what I was expecting."It's controlled by a bunch of rich CEO psychopaths/sociopaths." But your answer is probably very true as well.
So they don't discuss this in the video then? Then I suppose I already know the answer. Moving on...back to reading, I guess.
Wait that’s how it works?
I remember having spent about two weeks on a painting that would go towards me college gallery. I wasn't expecting to win anything but I was just happy it got shown. It was a very emotional piece that I spent much time and thought towards. Only for my work to not just win anything, but not even make it in the gallery. Instead this guy walked in with 50 or so paintings of simple lines and colors and he would explain his "thought process" on it. None of it made any sense, just giberish. And of course he received pats on the back and money out of it. It was extemely discouraging. Unless you have connections, money, or power, your dream as an artist will die with you.
There is truth to this, an artist's work can be promoted like a product and invested in so as to create a marketplace for investment purposes. But the artist's work has to grow over time. Don't let a college situation hold you back or make. you believe this is the total truth because it is not. Perhaps you need to find your. niche, there are art collectors out there who aren't necessarily millionaires but see the value in your work. Talk about the meaning behind your paintings, create a connection with the viewer based upon this. How to find collectors? I'm praying about this myself. I do believe in the power of prayer. However, you may not believe in that and that's okay. There is information out there that can teach you, or at least lead you to find your niche and your own collectors. All the best.
@@davidhetherman8127 imagined if you spent two weeks putting your all into something only for a scribble to win. that's not jealousy, it just feels awful.
@@davidhetherman8127ok? So he have all the right to be jealous angry and sad like why would he the one the approximately spent half-hour drawing lines to win that is absurd
@@davidhetherman8127
Ur probably just a modern "artist“...
You need to learn to sell your art. That guy knew how to sell his work, you clearly didn’t. If you want to be a working artist that has their pieces in galleries then you need to craft stories around your work, create mythology, charm curators, collectors. Simply making good art is not enough, sad but true. You’re venturing into the business side of things which is a skill set of its own. You have to sharpen your social skills and build those networks that will get you through the door.
Buyer: Truly a masterpiece...the artist must have thought long on this...I can feel their thoughts touching me spiritually.

My art teacher told me this quite a while ago and i still remember it until now for how great it was.
"Modern art isn't about art, it's about the artist. First, you have to make yourself known and apreciated by actually making good paintings and then you can make modern art because people will buy it because it was painted by you, not because of how it looks. "
Amen
Yes, this is what people are missing. They think an artist just makes one of these paintings and sells it for over a million. No they have to have a whole history of artwork.
Actually it all bullshit.

“Art isn’t about beauty, it never really was”
Italian Renaissance: Am i joke to you?
Well, Italian Renaissance wasn't exactly about beauty, you know?
Marcio Couto so Botticelli and his la Nascita di Venere, the David of Michelangelo? That actually are standard of beauty, and you can find hundreds of pieces, that are an example of astonishing beauty. Just think at the sculptures, with ripped muscles during different action like fighting, or just staring. Aren’t them beauty?
I think only a blind won’t see beauty looking at La Pietà, or Mosè.
@@gabrielefarina9103 It is not that they are not beautiful, but rather that beauty comes in all forms and shapes.
@@gabrielefarina9103 they are beautiful, obviously, but Renaissance was about much more also.
I’m an artists and I do realism, and when I’m drawing realism it takes me time a precision, getting the exact colors right, and making sure all the proportions are correct. Just seeing someone splatter some paint and calling it a day kind of irritates me because artists that are struggling because people don’t find realism as fascinating as contemporary art struggle
Omg that hurts!!😢😢😢😢😢😭😭
Julius Mendoza ikr it might have thought or whatever but it takes literally no skill
Agreed
@@shom924 I can do that random splatter shit that most of the artist in the video do
Iovanska Berenice Delgadillo Villa yeah my dad does abstract but it’s kinda a mix between that and realism and he draws people and I know most people can’t do it so I hate how people just do a squiggle and call it abstract
It actually pisses me off that there are genuinely talented artists out there but shit like this is what is people are willing to pay millions for.
idk man, my fkin mind blown up and turn into pile of turd. Why do they even call these things art what the heck, it's fkin bright paint slathered by 5 years old child wtf?
It's simply because of too many rich people either launder money through "art", or to show off or to invest their money. In other words, there are 1000s of Billionaires and 100 millions of millionaires who are willing to buy due to the above mentioned reasons or simply to climb the elite social class.
Or many buyers, obviously the ones who can afford to buy anything they want worth 100s of million dollars buy it simply because they like it and can afford it. Personally, I feel most of it are a scam. If the ones auctioned for millions were on someones yardsale they wouldn't even fetch a 100 bucks!
My turd is nicer then these art work
@@Starrrwarrrs6rbluey lol
Actually this is all about billionaires paint themselves and buy it for their own paint. Garbage painting can cost 100000trillions dollars if the owner paint on it own and buy it.
In short: the art doesn't has value, the artist has the value!

if its a pice of s*it on canvas doesn't matter who made it it's still a piece of s*it
Meanwhile There are many beautiful traditional artwork all around the world which are on the brink of disappearing.
Sometimes I just don't understand people.😭
That's what happens with "liberal arts" schools and their curriculum.
So much REAL talent hidden away while people go about buying splatters of paint on canvas for millions
I don’t think they’re on the verge of disappearing? Many old styles/techniques are still very relevant! I’m pretty sure in most art schools they make you try many different techniques like both modern and traditional. There’s nothing wrong with liking different types of art as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody!
There are places in India where they will make some of the most beautiful hand woven design on a piece of cloth, but they're barely earning anything for a living and are forced to find other jobs. On the other hand, splashing paints on a piece of paper are being sold for millions.
Nah most of people are on digital they're switching now though...
Its expensive because someone has to launder a large amount of money.
But why they don't pick actual good paintings to do that?
@@karlaanchondo they do buy good ones but they buy those for cheap i dont think that someone with the skill to create a real masterpiece would want to take place in money laundering schemes at the very least it would feel like an insult to the effort put into it
The good ones at track attention. These shit ones transaction is covered up. Also there are tax laws regarding art which have loopholes around them which can be exploited
@@karlaanchondo laundering requires that the actual transaction is worth less than the money being transferred.
@@MaestroTunes until you're hungry. Ever heard of a starving artist?
Van gogh died thinking he was never good enough with no recognition yet these people literally just splash paint on the canvas and get famous. It's honestly sad.
That's not dad thayts smartness of artists
Its just basic money laundering, most of these have no artistic value.
Worst thing is that after his death, greedy art dealers took advantage and (no offense to him; he was still unique and worthy of success during his time on earth) over-exaggerated his name, adding way more value to the art than the contents of the paintings themselves.
I grow tired of artists being popular by their stories over the quality of their artwork. I don’t care if someone had a difficult life, what I care about is that their art is skillfully and well composed.
@@theleafshandsomedevil1552 A lot of van gogh’s work is well composed but I agree
I love a starry night
Everytime i see modern art i Just sit and think of how hard I worked to learn the techniques of the masters. And how many years of dedication that took. Its so infuriating
It MUST be some kind of money laundering scheme.. I mean 99% of 'modern art' literally looks like a child did it, and ANYONE could make something that looks either the same, or better with NO skill required whastoever.
Not 99%. WAY less.

@@madara6668 No i mean that that's not right at all.

The “art” in this video is what I call “Tax art”, in which the rich use to get less taxes. REAL modern art is more about the meaning aspect of the art rather than the appearance.

As someone who paints acrylic paintings over the course of days, even looking at the modern “art” leaves me unsettled. Experimenting with colours is another thing, but selling it for this insane amount of money is absurd, because I find absolutely no way for it being worth that much. I don’t find this art, I simply find it colours slathered on a canvas. The main reason why I hate this is because the actual, real art, the detailing, the colour schemes that took actual time and effort are being overlooked because of this. For me, random brushstrokes will never be equal to a detailed work.
Meanwhile, some small minds called AI art "not art". Yet AI can draw more detailed pictures than whatever these things. Which makes them more of a "not art" than some AI pictures.
This proves that AI art IS art, the definition does not count on who draws it.
I agree. Art isn't about Beauty. It can be grotesque, terrifying, sorrowful, or grating. Art is about feeling something.
And when I look at these squiggles and shapes - I feel nothing.
A round of applause to this!
Hahahaha. Exactly
How sad for you. Most of these pieces are amazing. Maybe you'd feel something if you witnessed them up close in person. Abstract art can really brighten up a room in a mysterious and wonderful way.
Anybody can learn art/painting techniques over time and learn to master painting realistic portraits or realism. Abstract art on the other hand really can't be taught. It's a self taught journey an artist must go through and despite how simple and un-skilled or lack of talent you may think these abstract pieces showcase, you're wrong. It's actually very hard to produce good abstract art pieces in reality. Some really good artist make it look easy the way they splash their paint around but don't be fooled.
@@smokegasplaynintendo5767 there are different kinds of abstract. So which do you think such art belongs to?
Basically my kindergarten nephew can make my family a fortune if she splatters paint on her paper because we told her no snacks
And they still didn't give a "valid and logical" reason why art is expensive.
money laundering that's why
there is nothing logical about art, its all about feeling
Its just a scribble
Elitism plays a role I reckon

This makes me so angry... That shitty art is being sold for millions where amazing artists I follow sell artworks for a 100$-500$
Couldn't agree more. It's also kinda sad that these millionaires and billionaires spend millions on this rubbish when there are millions around the globe starving to death.
@ vibe ruiner
True.ive seen people on the street drew their customer really well in under 5m and theiy are getting 50 fpr it
@heimer donger If you make an income of 100 mil from that 37% of it goes to federal taxes alone. So 37 million dollars just taken from the government. Let's say you buy an art piece from an auction house for 10 million dollars. And you store it in a free port anonymously so taxes doesnt count on your art piece. Your art piece stays in the free port for 5 years. Auction houses always keep exclusive partnerships with artists and make sure the demand for their art goes up and keep marking the price up as time goes on. You can get an appraisal for your art piece, and because its from a famous auction house and a famous artist, its worth 50 mil now. You can donate this art piece to a museum and get a tax write off of 50 million from your 37 million taxes. The other 13 million can be evenly split for the next 5 years.
@heimer donger they can evade taxes for a lot cheaper. The art is generally bad because auction houses dont really care about the product quality because the buyers dont care if it looks nice or not.
I think one of the biggest challenges in fighting the undeniable degeneracy of modern art is that it's really not enough to point out the laziness of the work. To really be effective in your criticism, you need to shift your focus towards modernism itself.
"degeneracy of modern art" careful what you say, that's what the Nazis said about the Modernists.
I watch this whole video but still don’t get why it’s so expensive
Because it’s a scam.
Rich people buy it so they can launder money and it can be considered as a "donation"

I am just going to get a white canvas and some paint and splash it on the canvas. Apparently people would like to buy it for over a million dollars so they won’t have to pay taxes. Fine by me
Is it just me or did no one say anything during this video? I didn’t hear a single explanation as to why it’s expensive
They said it’s expensive because apparently “drawing realistically” is taken by photographers, so all they do is draw “simplicity”, something a goddamn ONE YEAR OLD can accidentally draw. Art can actually be amazing if people didn’t think drawing shapes is better than drawing like a photograph.
@@henrywu8500 beeing abstract isnt bad in general. many REALLY famous artists did it but theres a big difference between a abstract van gogh wich resembles something you can actually feel and see and someone that violently hits the piece of art with a brush for no goddamn reason other than making monetas. no skills needed whatsoever. you could basically "paint" that shit beforehand and then think about ANY reason why you did it and it would still fit as its only a random piece of crap 😂. you cant see how much thought process is in there. you can say its art but to me sth you need to explain isnt art. simple as that 😂

“Art isn’t about beauty, it never really was”
Definition of art:
the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
Explain this then
There it is: "emotional power", which is not the same thing as beauty.
Not defending shitty paintings, just saying she's half right on this one.
Because there's only one definition of "art", sure. 🤦♀️
@S a) in Caped Baldy's definition, which I responded to, there's the expression "beauty or emotional power". The word "or" implies the validity and independence of both concepts: they are not two conditions which should be met, but two different possibilites art can explore.
b) This definition of art is arbitrary, as most are, but at least the concept of "emotional power" encompasses more stuff that is commonly called art. An example would be movies like "Incendies" or "No Country for Old Man". They are incredible, gut wrenching movies. Yet they're not exactly "beautiful", but they do carry emotional power.
Of course, it all depends on how you define beauty in the first place.

@@m234476ghhma You shouldn't buy it. To me, the likes of Malevich or Pollock are amusing, but I wound't pay millions, not even thousands for their work.
The reason why these paintings are so expensive is simple: speculation and money laundering.
With that said, there are plenty of contemporary artists which create really astounding art, like Theo Jansen, Ron Mueck, even Ai Wei Wei deserves a lot of merit for his crazy ideas. Is just that money is not a good metric of quality, or of its absence.
My original point was just that I agree art is more than beauty, NOT that people should pay millions of dollars for lackluster works or concepts.
Money laundering and people who are able to hallucinate random stories from simple daily products
you mean monet laundering...hhh

Yes thank u
Yep well described
You can do it with non moder art too
Love the part where they explained why modern art is so expensive
As an artist I feel so hurt. We spend hours upon hours working on a piece, trying our level best to create a beautiful artwork that people would look at with awe and wonder, then there are these fake ass imposters who shit all over a canvas and have the audacity to call it art n say things like art isn't about beauty. Don't give me bs.
People like these and the ones who buy their 2 cents worth shits are the reason why real artists are struggling today.

3. I love painting sure my paintings take at least 4 to 5 hours but with each new painting I get better
4. An excuse to buy all the paints and canvases and materials I want
Art is about expression and not only about beauty - an expression of pain may not be beautiful but it is art. But, that said, modern art is mostly nonsense foisted on us for complicated, evil reasons. It is highly priced because it is used for money laundering,

REALISM TAKES 1000% MORE TIME AND I WOULD KNOW! ITS JUST STUPID
I remember watching a news report many years ago where they took paintings made by elementary school students and put them in art galleries. It was hilarious to watch the "experts and critics" comment on how much depth, talent, skilled, etc, the artists were.
Most skilled artist suck at modern abstract art. Children can make awesome art. There's artists like Twombly who got their inspiration from children, but added composition, color, and balance. All I see on here are people who have Dunning Kruger that don't know anything about what they're talking about.
@@jonathanmosher72 or maybe being an artist isn’t that impressive like being a scientist or other witty professions and some artists have a sunken cost fallacy.
@@su2spinors There's no record of what the OP said ever happening. You can tell someone who understand weight, composition, color, and balance, vs an average elementary school student. Most great modern artists went through college making classical art. Much of modern art is an idea of art as invention.
this dont consider as an art. such a dumb idea anyone could say this is an art worth of million dollars. such a shame to those people who work for hours days weeks and even months to finish their ART works meanwhile this kind of so called 'art' feels like elementary days and they called it "very difficult" for what? lmao everyone could do that even a 2yrsold could. glad many people wide awake to not consider those frames with dirty paints as an art. lol
@@jonathanmosher72 nobody is saying we need only classical art. But if you need to sort of make ad hominem to the audience to justify the price tag, perhaps its not innovative and more pretentious. We aren’t really angry, we are just saying meh, and perhaps a bit concerned about money laundering to evade taxes.
I just personally think in today’s world where scientists or physicists have tapped into fundamentals of our very existence, is creating things that are borderline magical, a lot of continental philosophers/artist feel rather inadequate and not that innovative and that leads to these pretentious things.
“Look we are also really abstract just like math people are! Praise be upon my intellect!”
Comes across pretty self aggrandizing which rest of the population finds silly.
Modern art isn’t abomination nor is it end of civ or something. It’s just silly insecure people doing silly things.
Most of us are mad because if we do the same thing it's called trash. But if someone with a fancy name does it, it's considered art
Maybe
I'm mad because it's a front for money laundering. 150$ in materials suddenly equals 9 million?
No offense but pretty much how people idolizing Picasso's lastest art.
I mean there are some of his *old* arts that definitely worth. But now.. I failed to understand the meaning behind it.
If some painter got a name called le cock sucker I'd buy a painting from him
Depends on what you look in for art. Art is communication, and the less specific a painting is (like abstract), the more meanings people can give it. Although it is true that it costs a lot of money simply because of money laundering. If you just want to see something pretty, then abstract is usually awful
The problem with this is that its virtually impossible to decifer if a painting has a message or is just predatory advantage taking of the audience by the artist.
It would be interesting to see an experiment done involving a modern artist’s work vs. 3 random passersby instructed to imitate said artist’s work, and see whether a room full of social elites are able to differentiate the authentic one full of “meaning”. I reckon everyone would just start bidding on the spot.
yes

genius... better do this before someone beats u to it... modern artists have the mentality of 'yeah anyone CAN do this but im the one that DID'

"Art isn't about beauty." Modern art in a nutshell, ugly.
@Marcus Dietachmair yes
the whole point of art for buyers is to hang on your wall. people want beautiful things to look at, like flowers or a portrait- not a stupid black square. if you’re selling art I think it would help an awful lot to paint something beautiful
.....their complete argument is that "it's about evoking a responce". Even back in the day when religious art dominated. The purpose was not to show how beautiful jesus or the virgin Mary were but how holy they were. Them being beautiful was just a means to convey that
@Marcus Dietachmair what is a black square supposed to make you feel? Not racist maybe?
@Marcus Dietachmair well, maybe those people could set their wallpaper as a black square maybe and not spend millions? Mate grow up, it's about tax evasion
Art can’t be recreated even by the same artist. And even if it is recreated it’s merely just another creation. All art is one of a kind❤️

There are countless stories of ‘installation art’ being thrown out by the cleaning staff at museums who mistook it for the garbage it was. If something can’t stand on it’s own merit, without explanation as to why it should be appreciated or admired, it doesn’t deserve to be called ‘art’.

The reason why rich people “buy” shitty art for so much, isn’t because of the uniqueness or the art itself, it’s actually donations to the artist so the rich man can avoid paying taxes (if you donate a certain percentage of your total income you are exempt from income tax, this certain percentage is cheaper then what Uncle Sam would have robbed you for)

My opinion about some of these Modern art, in a nutshell;
Is it Art? Yes, it is.
Is it Good Art? No, it is not.
Art is subjective, beauty is too, but I for one am unable to see the beauty of a canvas with a black painted box on it. I don't think that the experience of a painter makes up for it either. It's not fair to look at the box and say "It's amazing!" just because the artist is well known, while artists with genuine beauty are left struggling.
same. sure everything is art, but not everything is good art. and definitely not every art is worth 459438 billions of dollars. if art is so expensive why pay it for the crap and completely ignore the works that has been worked on with intense actual labour?
Beauty is objective.
so TRUE... 😅🤔😭😭😭
empty . com yeah, they said that.
So you're telling me artists like Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Munch... produce "not good" art? Because they're are extension of the modernist category as Expressionism and Impressionism are often categorised under "Modern". Please use the terms carefully. What you dislike is Minimalist art. Not Modern art.

Just made my day 🤣
Dmitri Xallo two ways. One by using it as a vehicle to move mass amounts of money back and forth. Two, using losses, transfers or donations as a means of tax deductions.
Tbh modern art is just about class. I can literally drop a few paint buckets on a canvas and if it’s auctioned in a room full of rich people, someone will buy it for a million dollars. Rich people just want to show off to each other that they can spend that much. But if that same art piece is auctioned in a room full of poor people, someone might buy it for 1 dollar. So the true value of modern art is actually dependent on the audience it’s being auctioned to. That’s literally it. Nothing else matters.
Picasso once said that, It took me four years to paint like Raphael but a lifetime to paint like a child
Nope, maybe 130 years ago you could get away with that. Than again 130 years ago you'd go through traditional art school and do that because you're trying to make a point.

This is a true story, Many years ago there used to be a TV host who had a weekly show that held topics on current affairs. His name was Gilbert Harding. One week he decided to invite several (4) art critics to explain to his audience the concept of abstract art. He exhibited 4 works of art and ask each critic to explain the meaning of each piece of work. Each one, in turn, came out and gave their spiel on what the artists were trying to promote in each of the artwork. Which were in fact not too dissimilar to what Jackson Pollock produced when he was still around. Gilbert asked the critics to take a seat, and he would go into the back of the studio and bring out the artists, so they could congratulate them personally. Gilbert Harding came back on stage holding the hand of a chimpanzee. The audience response was priceless.
Love it
At the same time, that kind of proves the point and beauty of modern abstract art - it's all about how you personally perceive it, what emotional and chemical reactions each piece brings to you. It doesn't matter who painted it.
Chimpanzee being trained to paint is a great accomplishment for both the trainer and Chimpanzee.

My professor split us up into groups the first day and gave us examples of Modern Art to discuss as a class and also discuss our opinions on Modern Art. I gave my honest opinion, that no matter how hard I try, when I look at Modern Art I feel nothing. It looks absolutely pointless to me. There was this rich older retired lady taking the class for giggles and to kill some time, and she got after me berating and belittling me for my opinion, and how I just didn't understand Modern Art, especially because I haven't traveled much (I don't have the money to travel). So she proceeded to tell me about a Jackson Pollock exhibit she went to in Rome one time. I guess there was one of his paintings that had a bee that had gotten stuck in the paint and died, and now its body is a permanent part of the painting. She said it was the "dichotomy of life and death." I just think it's really gross that it's an ugly painting with a dead bug stuck to it. But that's just me. I guess I'll never learn.

The reason why it costs so much is that the museum or the particular client paid that much for the art or requested a particular art from an artist. So, even if the artist don't do it seriously, the contract will never be stopped. Therefore the museum had no choice but to show it publicly and dictate how much it costs.

Exactly! Art (I would think) is about branching out and exploring different mediums, most artists will stick to one primary medium because they have successfully skilled in it and love it but will still try other things. Sadly, a lot of people will stick to this modern art bs just to make quick fast-paced art for the money. I have a really difficult time understanding modern artists if all their work is a monochromatic painting...
No one is paying millions to present day artists that do abstract shit.

Money laundering.
It's about identity. That's why they value "novelty" above all. People often want to feel unique and elite, and buying beautiful or good art is tainted by the poorer people's association with it. Its a lot like how "high" fashion ("brand" names with expensive logos) has changed to become ridiculous since clothing manufacturing had become so cheap. This is as opposed to pre industrial times, where beautiful art was highly valued by the wealthy (still is sometimes of course; not all wealthy people have no taste).

It seems to me that people who defend modern art claim that it is a personal expression of emotion from the artist and therefore, it has value. In 3:26, the speaker states that any person could make a black canvas, but because the artist put lots of thought into the work and had a journey to arrive to the work, the plain black canvas has value. However, you're not buying the journey or the thought, you're buying the stupid black canvas (which you could DIY at home). The journey and thought is deeply personal. It is an insult to the artist to think that one could buy that personal journey with rich people paper.
No matter how much thought or emotion you put into it, the majority of this 'modern art' is just 5 minutes worth of splashing paint onto a canvas.

@@Pantsu51 you have a point. Slapping paint on a canvas is easy, selling it is hard. Tbh a circle on a canvas gets more attention from the public (good or bad) than art that is praise worthy due to outrage etc. It is like shitty merch with a small logo on something from a big celeb.
It’s valued like that because people will pay that much you may think you can create something like this and I am sure you can but you are mr nobody for now so it won’t be as valued
