And I cannot stress this enough: bury their bones in an unmarked ditch.

Those are original Warhol boxes. Two Brillos, a Motts and a Campbells tomato soup. Multiple millions worth of original art, set on the floor by the front door.

Theres a regular customer whom i do plumbing work for, for the last 3 or 4 years. These belong to her. She also has Cherub Riding a Stag, and a couple other Warhols that i cannot identify, along with other originals by other artists that i also cannot identify. I have to go back to her house this coming Monday, i might get photos of the rest of her art, just so i can figure out what it is.

Even though i dont have an artistic bone in my entire body, i can appreciate art. I have negative feelings on private art like this that im too dumb to elucidate on.

eat the fucking rich. they are good for nothing.

    Would you feel the same way if they displayed some local or contemporary artists original work(or commissions etc) instead of some “famous artist”? Having art in your home should be normalized(and everywhere), not really treated as some sacred thing only for museums or art houses(which also have their place). The whole culture and speculative market of art is probably pretty cringe and gross but it seems like a big part of the offense you feel is you buying into the the cringe speculative market, hype, price, and “sacredness” they created in the first place(“the people” probably would not put that value on those pieces). At least that is my art illiterate opinion… Also still eat the rich, just was commenting and “reading between the lines” on this part.

    (edit: Also "Since fashion is art now and Chinese is in fashion, I could make a lot of money… Mao would be really nutty not to believe in it, it’d just be fashion but the same portrait you can buy in the poster store.” --Warhol.Then made a Mao painting/coloring of Mao portrait so we may be eating Warhol too. Also attributed to Warhol "Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”)
