For an average pastel, A copy of the equally average painting, which Munch did in A day? Alrighty, then.

Russian billionaires say that buying art means investment. So it is not the people of art buying them but the billionaires investing their money in art.

119 Million for the satisfaction of the idea of originality that comes with the painting

Let s just say (…) the economy hasn T hit my family that hard (…) it s A period of spending and diversifying. That said, it s never A bad time to do so. It s true, “The Only Way to Make Money is To Spend Money“.

I would love to hang that painting in my bathroom, so I can look at it while taking A dump.

Ahh let me interject A spot of though B (…) A clot in the flow if you will (…)
Most people would view this as the most classless purchase, in the age of the slave and the low (…)and the elite, the slave is forced to see his lifes worth is less then A over spoken impressionist ego trip for 1 man,. so I say simple, slave or master of slaves, this paintings worth is only in exposing the worthlessness of the ego of the new owners life, for in the end it will set on A wall as A reminder of his shame

“The Buyer s Name was Not Released.“ I M sorry, somebody who buys such an iconic painting and integral component of art history does not have the right to remain anonymous. works of art like this as far as I M concerned belong to no one but man himself. They are the property of all, and the one that owns it is simply it s protector and guardian preserving it for future generations to come. the buyer better loan it out to A museum to be put on display. it would be greedy to keep it all for him | her

Are you implying that im going to pull 120.000.000 dollars out of my ass? It would be amazing if even make half of that in my entire lifetime.
BTW I volunteer and donate A percentage of my salary to an organization that deals with educating the excessively poor in the Americas. What have you done that has benefited this world? I mean other then wasted your seed on A napkin, because no one wants more ignorant little shits like you around.

Yeah (…) but, say the person decided he didn T like it anymore and wanted to cut it up. would that be OK? it is his | her property. she has the right to do that, right? I d so no, she doesnt. see its all different when it comes to art. art is something far more complicated to be considered just “property”

It s not that good and I M not talking about good enough for the price which of course it isn T but as you say it’ s not about art it s about the investment, no one gives a shit about what the thing actually looks like, only what it’s worth.
Brian Rodriguez
I D love to have the sum of money of all the people in that room and know that only 10 percent of that could change so much in this world. The contradictions I see in this world sometimes frighten me because of how abhorrent they are. This one especially frightens me.

Whoever bought this is RIDICULOUS!! Probably some spoiled brat who either inhereted the money from their parents, or kisses the government s ass at some job which requires no work. This should be in A museum where nobody could touch it, not for some brat to wave around and show off how wealthy they are. As for the $ 119.922.500, this should have gone to somebody who actually works for it or needs it.

I once stood in line for two hours to see a Monet exhibit. The hundreds of people behind me didn’t seem to care about the prices of the pictures. I didn’t care. I like his work, and I wanted to see his paintings up close. The news media cares about prices, but people care about the work. That’s why they collect copies. Clearly your opinion of art is spoiled and cynical. Why don’t look for a painting you like, instead of concentrating on the one you dislike?

Because someone who can spend 119.9 million dollars on A painting cares about being greedy! 😉
I agree with you about art being property of humanity and the buyer being the guardian. Kudos! 🙂

Why not put this in A museum and tax this guy?
mikejr41387
That looks like A really dull, bad replica (…) the original painting is way more vibrant, and intricate (…) just look it up on Wikipedia (…) that looks nothing like it (…)

Art is not “Good” because the painter painted the slightest details as if it is A photograph. That s something the impressionists and expressionists wanted to break from. This painting is good because of the use of color, the proportions of the man and the most importantly, the dark emotion. That such A simple piece can portray such A mood is “Good“. It is A shame that paintings are nowadays only known for their price tag.
dudev
2dogarage
It became A pop culture symbol because it s good. Not the other way around, Einstein. Your view is jaded because so many modern artists copy artists like Munch. This version of The Scream was painted in the 1890 s when nothing else like it existed in the art world. The price is crazy, but it s not going to lose it s value. That s why investors buy such things.
ThaGenius101
+ @veggie530 (…) it s probably A person who got rich off of shipping jobs overseas and kicking poor people out of their homes. Or maybe A war profiteer who gets rich off of wars while spending up our tax money to live the high life. Ever think about that?

$ 119.9 Million for A painting that looks like it was done with crayons.
SAMSON12321
Was that auctioneer doing some type of awkward martial arts? Or A new form of Tai Chi? In either case the painting looks like A child s finger painting (…) I can T believe someone paid 119.922.500 dollars for that. BTW notice the first three numbers are 9/11 backwards? Hmmm. The next three numbers 922 is the day the worlds stock markets plunged in 2011 after the IMF talked double digit inflation. Is this sale A warning of another event that will destroy the markets?

If you think that looks like A childs painting, then go try and paint A masterpiece yourself. We LL see how that will turn out, loOser

Nothing new, they always can, and many more. This is an investment, the money value might drop but not the ictures value. Also, it brings tourists if it was bought by A museum.

Like the Lottery…”IT COULD HAPPEN” you never know with these fools in government today. They plan a event and disguise it in something a simple as a sale of a piece of artwork. Don’t let anything slip by, trust no one (winks left eye)

There are four replications of “The Scream” and one of them is already in A museum. Chances are that this painting was already in someone s private collection, and if the person is willing to shell money out for it, I see nothing wrong for that person to keep it in their personal collection.

I can get 100 Bugatti Veyrons for that painting

The rich realize the currency is collapsing and it will soon be worthless (…) By buying works of art it s one way to preserve their wealth for when A replacement currency is created.

No government job pays enough from any man to be able to buy A 100 million dollar painting, even the president himself only makes $ 400.000.00 per year. And the person who brought this painting is Leon Black, he is the founder of A private equity firm. He s also on the board of directors at 2 major art museums. Please don T speak so loosely about things you don T know about.
John Incognito

Maybe you should inform the Sotheby s experts who have devoted their lives to art research and history. I M sure they D be fascinated by your conclusion. You can even show them the Wikipedia picture to prove it.

There is nothing significant about this painting other than what pop culture has assigned to it, 120 Million for A glorified refrigerator adornment is the art crime of the century.

And why is it not in A museum?
