These works all seem to be private in private hands. The majority will never have the opportunity to really "look" at these works. That is one of the shames of art being an expensive commodity.

some of these could be considered "modern", how about making a list of living contemporary artists

Wow 😮 That is really expensive 😮 Thank you for shared all Information about that I rearing more stuff today Thank you 🎨🖌💕👋

Although a bit old datam there is value to it, liked it, well done!

Vids keeping me going

Why did you use the fake (not by Francis Bacon) mock "Three studies of Lucian Freud"? It's used twice in the section about this painting and looks like some kind of Photographic studio mock-up!

Super!👍👍👍

Nice. ❤️

"Your so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece." - Sgt. Hartman from the movie Full Metal Jacket

Amazing ❤

This was interesting to watch!

great video

nice topic

I wish I was on this .

A direção linear do abstrato, tudo de bom.

I would happily empty my checking account for a painting by Mark Rothko or Gerhard Richter!

whatever one's opinion on definition or commodification - most of these works are representative of watershed breakthrough moments in art and the evolution of humanity (tho I'm not sure de kooning fits in that league). so, the desire to acquire something so unique is understandable if one has the means. The very wealthy are not without discernment and passion about art. many works they purchase don''t appreciate dramatically if at all, or they devalue significantly. there are many wealthy people who do support emerging artists. We would all like to be one of the lucky ones, but we have to be good enough.

Incredible stuff by implication. Crimes have been committed here by culprits in the market. Have laws been broken? No. Is my ego crushed? Yes. To the victor goes the spoils! Keep it coming CAI. Even though I have blown myself up (trying to put all this together) now using toothpicks as crutches and currently convalescing. Licking my career wounds. Keep it coming! I’m like that guy in Monty Python walking on stumps and still charging forward!

The art of buy; the buy art.

Polock seems to me is the best ones out of all these paintings I feel these paintings are no more then a way to invest money.

Cezanne's card players would easily fit in the top 2, privately sold to Qatar.

I will paint an American flag just as good as Jasper Johns and only ask for half as much money for it.

super art

This has more to do with obscene amounts of wealth, highly-prized artefacts as status symbols, and investment potential, than the art itself. .

I will be on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like Steve Cohen just has a lot of money he needs to embezzle.

Picasso ....a Spanish...FRENCH(?) artist?

The interesting thing is, how Expensive a Artwork is does not have anything to do with how good a Artwork is. This is one of if not the biggest misconceptions perpetuated in the art world.

I hope someday my art also expensive like they all 👐👐

none of these are "contemporary" art

The narrative is slaughtered here.

Art?

This would be a great video if it were not for that damn computer generated voice.

Interesting video. But. This title should be changed to modern artworks. This is going to damage a lot of art students in their learning stages. Please.

“United States Dollars”. Is this narrated by a bot?

Ayo, anyone wanna buy one of my artworks?

Que tomadura de pelo ¡ HORROR ! QUE CUADROS MAS MALOS , NI REGALADOS , NO LOS QUIERO NI PARA PONER EN EL WATER DE CASA.

It it obvious that bad art sells.😡

None of the works shown will be on my wall. This isn't even about art.

This i an insult to good art.

These buyers don’t particularly like or appreciate the works; they get off writing a check with so many zeros.

Terrible art, 'the emperer whit out close'.....money,money.....its sooooooo funny!😢😣😈

There should be a prize for this stream of pretentious words that have no meaning. But that is perhaps a useful metaphor for the paintings and painters presented here as significant. I’m probably more interested in why this piece annoys and irritates me.

Ohhh puleeeeze……..this shows people have more money than sense

You call it contemporary. I call it graffiti.
