Oh darn, someone just bought that Picasso I’d been wanting…
But seriously, here we are in a global recession and another record sale of fine artwork just occurred at Christie’s. It’s mind boggling.
I’m stunned by how much folks are willing to pay for stuff, even for artwork. Yes it’s all relative, but in my world $106.5 million dollars is a whole lot of money, even for one of Picasso’s loveliest nudes.
Trust me, I love fine art and I wouldn’t mind owning a Picasso, but a person could buy a lot with $106.5 million dollars. That’s 580 Aston Martin DB9s, 3 extremely expensive private Greek islands, or 500 round-trip tickets to outer space on Virgin Galactic.
Since I’m not Ms. Moneybags at Christie’s, and most of us aren’t made of dollars, let’s go shopping for a less expensive nude. Here you’ll see some more affordable choices I discovered.
You can thank me later for all the money I just saved you.
