NYC Artist Selling "Invisible Art" For Millions

CBC – 27-year-old artist Lana Newstrom says she is the first artist in the world to create invisible “art.”  In this documentary we traveled to her empty studio to learn more about Lana and her unusual  artistic process. “Just because you can’t see anything, doesn’t mean I didn’t put hours of work into creating a particular piece” “Art is about imagination and that is what my work demands of the people interacting with it. You have to imagine a painting or sculpture is in front of you,” says Newstrom.  Paul Rooney, Lana’s agent, believes she might be the greatest artist alive working today: “When she describes what you can’t see, you begin to realize why one of her invisible works can fetch upwards of a million dollars.” said Rooney. Listen to learn more about Lana Newstrom and her invisible art.

So I actually did some research on this one to make sure it wasn’t fake (AKA sent it to Kmarko and said “is this satire or something?” and he said “Wow, doesn’t look like it.) I have absolutely no problem with Lana Newstrom. She’s a master string artist snaking her way into millions of dollars. Doing quite literally nothing and convincing people to give her tons and tons of money. Nobody can knock her. Thats incredible.

But if you’re some artsy fartsy idiot paying money for invisible art, you GOTTA kill yourself. Imagine paying someone a million dollars for some Emperor’s New Clothes shit??? You’re just such a wannabe art connoisseur that you let someone convince you that a blank wall is actual incredibly expensive artwork. Do you know how fucking INSANE that is? Its actually, quite literally, the stupidest thing ever. Someone is just like “You dont see it? Its a beautiful landscape picture with mountains in the background. I painted it in my brain. Its worth a million dollars.” And some dick is like “Sold!” You have gotta be outside of your goddam mind to get played like that. Bafflingly preposterous.
