You have to love this part by the LA Times

"The epic narrative is lost now because of the family's decision to break up the set, and it's a shame."


If it was so fucking epic they should have purchased them and donated the paintings. But it's so much easier to wax eloquent about how someone else should have reached into their pocket for the greater good.

That hurts my eyes.

What's with the eyeball theme on her dress/body?

I'm not much for the whole impressionist art movement or whatever the crap Picasso started, but I'd consider a career change for $135 million.

I bet it looks much better and more sophisticated in person.

 

[mrplunkey]

I cannot believe he outbid me by $5 million. I shall have my revenge, Thomas Crown.

 

[c00per]

I could make you one for a mere 15 million karmas.
Special, this week only.

I'd take a picture if I liked the painting that much.

What do you mean it "doesn't look nice"? Tell the truth. You evaluate art based on whether it matches your sofa, right? LOL. Just kidding.

I think it is absolutely magnificent, by the way.

Expensive vomit coloured painting.

Not a lot of art nouveau fans in this joint, I see. LOL.

I've never been the artful type.

I can't even draw a symmetric stick person to this day.

It's lots like drawing bonds in molecules in organic chemistry. Think of it as a molecule instead of a stick figure, and I'm sure you can do it.

Yeah, but you can cut corners and leave stuff as implied in chemistry and orgo. But I leave the circle off my stick person and draw an extra line or something, and everyone's like, WTF is that?

Thusly I cry every time I see crayons.

WTF is that? Tell them the extra line reps a tertiary bond. Problem solved. ;-)
