Profile picture of Serenity Chaos

Serenity Chaos before it evoked emotion, art was a symbol of status & wealth - nothing has changed . Modern art is all about defy rules & conventions ....start your education at Marcel Duchamp - only the artist can determine if it is art or not and only the person with the cash can say what they are willing to pay for it.

Serenity Chaos funny how nobody ever says...the billions of dollars spent on wars or putting people in jail could be better spent!???

Andriana Jovanovic Having people in jail is necessary, there is no other option. Unless of course you'd like criminals to roam the streets and do as they please. War on the other hand, well, everybody agrees that money could be better spent.

Megan Parry @Dana Walker @Erika Gorman As far as I can tell, we don't know who bought the work. Therefore, we have no idea how they spend the rest of their money or what kind of work they do - so it's unfair to judge them spending this money on this particular piece. We can also assume they are serious art collectors which means this work may very well end up at a museum eventually - which would basically render it priceless ($87 million is verging on priceless anyway). The thing with art - and with Mark Rothko's art in particular - is that it's more than color on canvas. An entire period of American history is wrapped up in Rothko and the rest of the Abstract Expressionists work. Hopefully, in hundreds and hundreds of years, there will be people learning about and examining Rothko's work the way we look back at ancient Greek vases or Roman sculptures. Plus, I dare you to stand in front of a Rothko painting and not *feel* something. I also dare you to attempt to recreate a Rothko painting.

Megan Parry In other news, I was an Art History major and Mark Rothko is my favorite artist. I'm biased. Oops.

‘This is an ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest. These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales,involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.’
