One of Willem De Koonings more famous paintings. I was just having this conversation with a fellow artist. This level/genre of “art” really isn’t what most regard as such, rather it’s a poker chip for ultra wealthy individuals and institutions to transfer large amounts of money. It’s a commodity that they gamble and swap with to try to make more money and launder the money they already have. It’s all about the thrill of the chase and bragging rights as one of my patrons explained to me. It’s a way of showing off their monetary puissance. They know it’s all a case of The Emperor’s New Clothes. It’s a game and we the living, average artists are not a part of it.
