LOL i would just go and print it and go to kinkos and get it blown up for $10.00 what a WASTE of money, but then again you could love paintings there nice but not worth $80 million.

80 mil, what......

im sure the buyer could of thought of better ways to throw away 80 mil. give me a mil an i blow it up for em.

give 70 mil to charity, spend the other 9 mil on a new house build or something, and a nice car an holiday.

stupid idiots..... there are quite a few of them in this world.

80 mil!! think about that. god damn i wish i had that much to just buy a painting.

80 million dollars to people like you and I is an excessive amount of money for a painting. I agree a print is more feasible.
But if you look at how 3rd world nations look at us. They think were nuts to buy the everyday crap we buy.

If I was a Billionare, I'd be out there buying 80 million dollar paintings, 200 thousand dollar sports cars, Antiques, & collectibles.

Ya but even for a billionaire $80 million is a big move...

It above and beyond the normal purchase, considering the biggest mansion are only like 170 mil-250 mil.

I mean some guy/girl just blew a mansion on a single painting, talk about inflating your ego.

If you were a collector, you would understand.
I collect old rock shirts, metal lunch boxes, and old toys (Pre- 1975).

I've paid as much as $800 for an old GiJoe doll.
I've paid $500 for an old Rolling Stones T-Shirt
I've paid $1000 for an old Beatles lunchbox.

Anything can be worth money, as long as their's somebody who's willing to pay for it.

there are better paintings to buy for 80 mil...
Monet was alright if you like the fluffy floral pastel kind of art.
80 mil i bet you could buy a chapel somewhere with paintings covering the ceilings and shit.

80 mil he should have gotten a variety pack of paintings
