It amazes me that we enable elites to become so rich when they are so wasteful and tasteless. This painting sold to a Chinese bilionaire for 170 million USD.

And here is the same billionaire victoriously sipping tea from an rare ancient chinese tea cup he bought for 30 million in an auction. Purchased just for his vanity! Tasteless people like him (usually Chinese) are destroying art. These brutes never should have been allowed to become so rich in the first place without giving back. My impoverished geography teachers have had comparably better tastes than this friend to the mafia. I can't stand how we glorify the wasteful and culturally destructive lifestyles of the rich.

>the chineese are to blame

m8, avant garde shit up the art world decades before china came to be any kind of power. but you are correct in blaming this on the rich, just not on the correct ones.

rich people often buy expensive paintings and automobiles not because they really want to drive them or look at them but to keep there wealth in physical form while also being inflation-proof.

That assumes sunflowers will stop be worth as much when you try to resell it. Art is faddish. The most expensive painting won't be as desirable later when tastes change.

Meant to write "Still," not stop.

Taste is subjective, but OP is the Czar of Taste.
