Quote - They don't DEMAND that their paintings be allowed to hang in the Louvre, or be sold at Southeby's.
Based upon some of the stuff that I've seen being claimed as 'high art' - I'll take another velvet Elvis poster. And I'm not even an Elvis fan.
BTW - Van Gogh's stuff was considered to be pretty much just so much bird-cage liner back in his own day. That is, back when he was alive -- and when the millions that his paintings later came to sell for could have actually done him some good.
Who knows? Perhaps a plastic-looking Posette render complete with plastic-looking "helmet hair" will sell for a couple of hundred million astrocredits in 2125........electronic transfer, of course.
