That Jackson Pollack "paintings" are supposedly worth big bucks should be enough to make any real artist give up on art.

The thought those "works" could be worth 50,000 dollars frightens me more than any Shep thread about the Middle East ever could. I don't want to believe that mankind could be capable of that, but then, I did live there for 6 years so it really shouldn't shock me.

Seriously, I'm lucky if I or any of my artist friends can sell our work for $200, and our stuff looks like what it's supposed to be. We even threw in genuine emotional impact at no extra cost while greatly reducing knee-jerk anti-authoritarian political messages that cheapen art and still don't come near $50,000.

But then, that's why I gave up on art.

These were just some private galleries near Pier 39. One was displaying a whole load of Salvador Dali's work, and the other had a few Picasso's lying around.

Cool.

That's art as well, y'know.
