Re: [Merged] Is it Art?
I don't mind looking at abstract artwork, and indeed own a couple of pieces, but if I were going to shell out £21m I would rather have a piece of artwork that took skill to achieve rather than buy something based just on the name of the artist.
The "Emperors New Clothes" springs to mind when I hear some of the opinions based by the professional dealers who have a vested interest in achieving the highest prices.
