Whilst, in some eyes, those paintings  are not worth the canvas on which they have been painted , I have a  similar issue with wine experts describing a bottle of wine. Here are a few examples..

 

This wine has a nose that displays ripe refined Shiraz aromas with raspberry, cherry and spice supported by subtle oak. The palate is richly flavoured and velvety with soft effervescence and fine tannins.

 

Delicate red berry fruits fill the palate while ripe, elegant yet firm tannins add structure and texture. Red cherry flavours linger in the mouth giving length and purity while the spicy/savoury notes emanating from the oak displays finesse.

 

Ripe fruit of lychee, melon and pineapple with roasted red capsicum, lime and thyme Full, soft and textured palate. There are fruit characters of lychee and gooseberry with subtle herbaceous character.

What a load of waffle to make the person waffling feel important. 
I would love to sit them down blindfolded and see what they make of various wines set in front of them.
As to that horrendous painting.    Cry  Imagine looking at that every day .Nuke

Blows my mind that the money exists to lubricate millionaires ego’s in such a debauched manner. 
When the children of drug addicts live amongst violence and squalor
Third world people can find little or no sustenance
Animals are abused, starved, many have been annihilated from this earth
Not a small fraction of the money needed to bring about hope and change can be found, not through govts, not through benefactors. 
Confused


“Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity? Here where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined”

Yeah, imagine what the money spent on rubbish like the above painting could do to help kids and animals.   Instead some person thinks its worth having that hanging on their walls .  Sick

 I think half of Australia has a Pro Hart. 

 My brother-in-law brought several of them for the prestige. They're striking and very Aussie, but not my style. 

 I'd have Blue Poles on my wall if I had a wall big enough. 

 I like modern, but those posted earlier are just garbage. 

 of course, it's all subjective...and some people have more money than taste,,,

I have a small Pro Hart bought in Broken Hill years ago.  I bought it because I like the country scene and horses.  At least it looks like something, and its very Ozzie.
Didnt cost an arm and leg at the time either.  Love Albert N too but couldnt afford one .

Any acceptable provenance AA?  Will do you a favor and offer $150, or $250 if decently framed.  Tongue

SC, you have no idea.Stick to trying to get the quaddie. The size of any painting has much do with its price, my frame alone for my Pro Hart cost $250 fifteen years ago, mine is 90cm x 90 cm, some Pro Hart’s are quite small say, 20cm x20 cm and might cost less than $1000, but the larger ones are much more expensive.

I thought the Francis Bacon/Princess Margaret story was funny. She was a horrible snob you know.




"I have been at the same house parties as her and her arrogance, her petulance, her rudeness and her plain bad manners were awful,” one frenemy recalled.

The Biden original doesn't appeal to me at all, but if I had to hang any one of those in this topic on the wall it's the one. Reminds me a bit of "Semen and Blood III" by Andres Serrano. Maybe he uses the same technique.

This from another thread:

How about Blue Poles, rubbished when purchased by the National Gallery but now almost priceless.

I remember watching a marvelous show quite some years ago about a Jewish couple who lived in a tiny rent-protected flat in New York, were considered experts in abstract art, and both hugely regarded by artists, buyers and dealers alike.

He in particular would evaluate countless numbers of works, some not much bigger than a train ticket, and most inexplicable to you or I.  The ones he rated always sold well, were hung in prestigious Galleries, and for the most part appreciated significantly in value over the years.

It's all in the eye of the beholder.  Especially those with deep pockets.

 whatever floats your boat...
