A well done painting can represent many hours of highly skilled labor. Of course, the artist wants to compensated for that. And selling through a middleman is going to raise the price even further. That doesn’t necessarily make it worth the price for a potential buyer, but it does help to put art prices in perspective, if only up to a point.

I don’t thing you’ll sell either one. That’s a high price for a painting of a bowl of fruit.

What amazes me is there always seems to be too many people (with way too much money) willing to buy trash at outrageous prices.

All of which begs the question: if the forgery is indistinguishable from the original …

Perhaps it can be made to be worth more (to some people) by including a fungible token.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised that there are muggles who would fall for this.
