There are artists and pieces of art that are much better than this. Seems like a bunch of yuppies had to one up each other at the auction.

What the people are buying here is the freaking name, so get over it. It's just the name, not the painting. Case closed.

It takes no skill to create a rookie baseball card. It serves no real purpose to decorate a wall. However, scores of people will associate a ridiculous monetary value on it because it is supposedly a "first." They tell everybody they own it and how unique it is. Yet they often hide it because it has no beauty. Ironically, I actually prefer a rookie Babe Ruth card to this painting. That at least is nostalgic.

This painting was painted long enough ago to not be neglected on its merit. Therefore if it looks like junk, it likely is. A true masterpiece, such as the Mona Lisa, Starry Night are ageless. Who doesn't love those? Given this painting I would not look up a fractal. Given a Cezanne, I would look up cloissoning. This painting does appeal to a certain segment of people for sure. I would say those are the same people that have too much money than what they know with what to do. You don’t have to be an artist or an art historian to have an opinion.

The reason being that the idea and convention behind the painting is what has value;this was very revolutionary during the 1940's and it can never be replicated. By the way, this Pollock's art is not supposed to have meaning it is NON-OBJECTIVE art, not abstract no, your brother, sister, cousin, etc… cannot do this.

This may truely be the core of 20th century art, the idea of painting outside the lines. Sure Picasso is more famous and sure the Mona Lisa may be the most known painting in the world, but there is something that Pollock did that was different than all other artist. He used his pain and feelings to paint a story of good and evil that was battling inside of the lonely shell of his soul. He has been thought hell and back and his art work can talk to you in ways words could not. Befor you judge art, see it thought the artist eye's...I am sure your judgement would change. And I am not going to say this is the best piece of art but I still show respect that all good art should get. -Wak This is what abstract art is all about.

How can Pollack compare to da Vinci or Rembrandt? It's just silly. It may be the most expensive, but it simply is not the best. Isn’t that merely a piece of linoleum hanging there?

When an absorbant amount of money is paid for something so abstract it only exempifies how gullable we are and influenced we are to advertising and marketing. And shows that you can be manipulated to believe anything. Fools gold comes to mind. Abstract art should be appreciated for what it really is and not turned into a priceless work of “art”.
