This may well be the finest, most inciteful analysis I have ever read!

i’ve seen pictures of the diamond encrusted skulls, pretty kool.

one comment on “value by signature”

There’s a great Picasso anecdote, too good not to be true.
Little old lady brings painting to Picasso, it turns out to be a forgery.
He paints in big strokes on it, “this is NOT a genuine Picasso”…
worthless forgery now has valuable Picasso signature!

Remarkable historical perspective and analysis of this blossoming artist tycoon as a thread in the overall tapestry time line of art. Most insightful, informative, eye-opening, yet wince producing. Thank you, folks!

Sir Nose D’void recounts a cute, but inaccurate fable! It happened to have been an original Renoir painting to which I added my comment that it was not, indeed, MY genuine work.

Thus, the actual dilemma which ensued was whether the painting was an original, defaced and worthless Renoir or a transformed and new Picasso original.

At the time, I had done all I could with bicycle seats and handlebars and felt the creative need to move to another medium. Like the bull, I believe the transformed canvas to be an original work of MINE. Thank you for the opportunity to reclaim my dignity and potentially raise an auction price.

I read similar article also named Damien Hirst - the Andy Warhol of our generation, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
