Fake Mark Rothko painting goes for $8 million

[Atlantis]

I can't believe this crappy painting went for so much. You be the judge, personally I could have made something similar.

Just be sure and use paints that there patented before 1956 when faking a Jackson Pollock.

Serves the sucker right. I take one look at that painting and smirk, knowing that some hipster will stand there in front of it in a gallery show, sipping a Caipirinha, and blather on about how it depicts the birth of the Universe and the elements of life and love and pain.

Some very wealthy people have absolutely no artistic eye. But they can understand that anything with a particular artist's name on it will be worth a lot of money, depending on the artist (not the work). These same people buy giant concrete breasts, porcelain penis bouquets

This site is a perfect mini experience of one of these silly pieces of art in an art gallery setting. Go ahead, pour that glass of mint water with a splash of lemon, toss in a mint leaf and sip through a bamboo straw as you watch. LMAO!

That right there sir, is the art of bullshitting which artists/art critics get paid quite a lot for. Hey if you can fool people by di-hydrogen monoxide, you can fool pretty much anyone.

I laughed when I read this ridiculous rationalization by one of the forgers:

"I made a knife to cut fruit," he said. "But if others use it to kill, blaming me is unfair."

If you thinks that's bad check this out, back when I was watching the apprentice go to 6:47, absolutely disgusting that he uses his own finger nails and under hair arms and the other lady painting with those small children was a creepy lady as well.

Sounds pretty good to me.
