Tax dodges for the rich don't need to look good, they just need hype.
Sure, but if I were to do that, I'd at least buy something nice.
Why pay more when banana taped to wall do?
Someone eat banan 😨
Fun fact: when you buy stuff like that you get a paper explaining how to remake the artwork, here how/what banana & tape and how to replace the old one.
Not just tax dodges. Also money laundering. ;)
Edit: I'm not slamming Pollock. He's cool with me.
Looked for this comment before saying the same thing. This is just what emerged at that time as a wonderfully convenient tax avoidance scheme, however organically. Art gatekeepers are tax dodgers’ useful idiots.
It may be aesthetic. It may be beautiful. But applauding while traitors converge upon some artist and their work is a mistake. They will always use this shit to rob society blind.
Luckily the time for highly centralized art opinion is somewhat over with the internet. It is much harder now to ‘force’ opinion to be that so-and-so is just divine and worth ten billion dollars for any art they create.
