I can't imagine how much money I would need to have in order to be willing to spend $110M on a painting.

I've always been broken when it comes to art. I just don't see "Masterpiece" there. I see "wall waiting to be painted over so someone with talent can try again" ...

They showed a few of those works on PBS last night. I don't get it but hey, if you want to spend that kind of money on that kind of creation, have at it. The benefit I get from it, is that I love listening to art theory. The whole 3 dimensional canvas which transposes author and audience fascinates me. Specifically, when people deconstruct narratives in any art form, it's like I suddenly have an attention span.

I must be a hardened cynic. When I hear things like that, I glaze over and think to myself "What a fabulous imagination and high self-image you must have, because that's all complete and utter nonsense" ... I have to assume that with something as completely subjective as art, anyone who speaks like an authority is just full of (insert here).
Kind of like wine critics. I've seen more than one or two clips where they present them with common swill in a fancy bottle and they're all "Oooh!" and "Aaaah!" over it. "The flavor, the body, the aroma. Mmmmm..." (shows crap boxed wine) "...oh..."

As with any field there are those who are shills, and those who are highly skilled. I'm the first person to call bullshit on the pretentiousness of art and art criticism, but I can also talk for hours about the minutia of narrative, design, intent, and craft across various media.
I like it. I don't "110 million" like it, but I like it. I would prefer less brown as the brown lines seem to be almost defacing the art underneath, like graffiti on top of something of value, but maybe that's the artist's point.
I'm no art critic, but I know what I hate, and I don't hate that.
I like Tic-tac-toe as much as the next person, but not on my $110M dollar piece of art.

What about crossed out capital and lower case "a's"?
That's absolutely worth $110M. I might even consider paying $120M for a couple more letters being crossed out.

There are two ways to appreciate art: Viscerally, based on whether you like it or have any other gut reaction to it; and intellectually, within the context of all the art that came before, the circumstances behind its creation, the artist's other work, its originality, the technical skill that went into it, etc. The second way takes deep knowledge and a lot of thought. The first way mostly depends on if it's a pleasing picture or not.
