A compelling point of view and fascinating narrative. Great homework and conclusion, too. But context i.e. the perspective of history, is everything, and Masterworks got it right. Congratulations.

One of the greatest ARTISTS of the 20th Century.

The lack of respect in the comments toward this female artist is really sad. Just because you don’t understand someone’s art doesn’t make it less worthy or less valuable. If you don’t like it, move along. No need to tear down someone’s hard work. I am an artist, and not all art is my cup of tea, but that’s okay, because it will resonate with someone else, and it meant something to the artist. Not everyone loves my work, and that’s fine. What isn’t fine is the misogyny that continues to be perpetuated in the art world. On average, artworks of living male artists still sell for far more than those of living female artists, and it has nothing to do with a difference in skill. Comments like the ones I’m seeing here discourage and shut down girl and women artists, and it’s not okay.

What a pity more people didn't appreciate her work when she was alive. As soon as she died the vultures and bullshitters moved in to hype her prices.

I find her work very mediocre and dull. How did she get so Famous?

[NancyFoxTV]

I understand the analysis but her work is meaningless compared to Mitchell or Pollack. Come on! Horizontal
