90 million pounds for a painting?

No you wouldn’t, you’d buy lots of shoes - admit it!

Well yes this is my primary weakness

I also like some art, but it's the silly money for something that hasn't taken much skill to produce. I think one 'masterpiece' is a black square on a red background. Or was it the other way round. Anyway, it sold for millions. Now a proper artist would work hard and use a lot of skill to produce a good picture. David Shepherd springs to mind.

That picture took a lot of skill and time to produce, not to your taste but nevertheless.

alan sugar made his money by selling crap audio gear (amstrad) to unsuspecting public. same with dyson. good marketing beats decent products all day long.

He started by buying from the wholesaler and selling stuff on, he also made set top boxes for SKY when they entered the market and did basically bring the PC to the masses, it may be tat but he stuck his neck out and took a risk/punt. I have a lot of respect for he achieved, anyone can do it if they have that focus and determination to succeed.

I gotta a work of art hanging up in me garage. I know its worth millions, but some idiot who valued it said it was worthless, arsehole. I know he only said that, so I would flog it to him for next to nothing and he would make a killing.

Ain't she a beauty.

Heart shape pebble between the ‘arty birds stalky legs’ - good find!
I’ve just realised what I’ve posted and what too and have come to the conclusion that @SWD and @Rpa07 should both get a life and put their faces in the sun.
I’m out!

Yulk. Liked the racing car one though.

I think the frame for the bee/fly pic is waaay too small... The frame needs to be at least 3 times as big as it is now...

Your concept of "art" is a plastic fish that plays a tune and was bought from T K Maxx in the sale ;o)))))) or looking at last nights kebab on the bathroom floor if you want to be "avant garde" ;o)))))
