There is not going to be any real "drama". The work is an amazing piece that's authentic and is cataloged in books. It was appraised by an art expert with multiple degrees ranging from art history to lithography from places like Berkeley. Appraisal was based on similar sales of comparable works as any professional appraisal is. The piece is in pristine condition and was bought for a very fair price.
Any and all drama being started here is being started by individuals who are not experts, and who have not studied the actual history of this actual piece of artwork, nor have they researched the sales history of comparable works (or be qualified to), and are simply making overly broad generalized statements about the "art industry".
As for whether or not this piece is an "investment". All artwork is worth simply what someone is willing to pay for it. End of story. Buying and selling artwork is not like day trading.
It is my belief if you're able to buy a piece of art that you love, and buy it for less than other similar works have sold for, you've made a very sound purchase.
I realize some of you hate p1mpdogg, and that's fine. Hate on him. But leave Picasso alone he's uber.  |
