Wonderful masterpiece of work! The price is well deserved. Master Picasso would be very proud of one of his "sons" (painting) to be worth what he is worth.

Compmaturism as a direction based on the emotional process of creation does not allow for direct consumption. There are no glazed delicacies served on a tray. Here it all starts again and continues.
You can contemplate the works for a long time. Each of them receives a new story.

How rich you have to be to laugh of 500k dollars?

[robertjohnson]

It's like something costing $1 when you have $200-1, 000.00. For those in this league purchasing it won't break the bank.

[davidrudolph]

Would probably look much better if turned upside down!

[jam]

What do you do once you've bought it, stick it up in the corridor and just look at it??

[fares__farhi]

[dmpbandara]
