Move Over Blue Rectangle With A Blue Line Drawn Down The Middle, There's a New King Of Stupid Art In Town!

BI - A Mark Rothko painting sold for $46.5 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York, an evening in which several records were set including one for a work by German artist Sigmar Polke. The Rothko work “Untitled, (Yellow and Blue),” measuring 2.42 meters by 1.86 meters (about 8 feet by 6.1 feet) and completed in 1954, had been estimated at between $40 million and $60 million.

Oh fuck yea! Slide over blue rectangle with a line drawn in the middle, a yellow rectangle with a blue rectangle painted inside of it just put you on notice, jabroni! What great art that is! Not just one color, but TWO colors! WOAH! IMPRESSIVE! I can’t even imagine his thought process when it came to pain that masterpiece. He was like “I’m really going to wow them now, hand me the yellow….and the BLUE!!!” His assistant probably had a heart attack right there on the spot. Unreal. Two rectangles. Did Rothko do it again, or did Rothko do it again?

(And in case you don’t remember, need to be reminded again, or this is your first time hearing about it, this is the blue rectangle, the former king of stupid art, that sold for 43.8 million dollars)

PS: That same night, Picasso’s “Women of Algiers” sold for $179 million. That’s right. 179 million dollars for a painting. At least his takes some talent to do. But 179 million. That’s unreal money for stupid art. Buy a plane. Buy the entire continent of Africa. Don’t buy a painting.

PS: Shouts to Fox for blurring out the nips. Doing god’s work over there.
