support thiz please

Amuses me that 'At nearly 2m (6.5ft) tall' the attributes of a Picasso are reduced to .......big!

Fuck that. Just drop a few hits of acid. You'll see better stuff than this Picasso crap and save $110 million.

I’m holding out for a hunter Biden masterpiece “piece of art”.

Looks like shit

110m for his early, kindergarten works? So how much would cost Picasso's mature paintings?

Power of sustained hype ...

They do say art is subjective

If Pablo Picasso was still alive he would be 140 tomorrow.

My kids can do better pictures, but it's all about the name....which is the same for everything.

Why buy art when you can steal old people's houses like principalguardiansusangraham does over the NSW Public TnG? NCATNSW
