Talk about FU money.

Gustav Klimt's Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer sold for 205 million. 236.4 million after fees.

Can't decide if I want to be cute & cuddly, or go blow some sh*t up.
Decisions decisions.

Hell yeah. An art post. Painting is fire but not even a Top 5 Klimt work.

Painting looks like crap. Must be a money laundering scheme.

My personal favorite of Klimt's is the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. From the beauty of the artwork by Klimt and the history.

I'm sure with a few AI prompts I could make something like that. And I'll only charge you $1 million for it.

AI is going to drive up the price of art by real humans. At least in these circles of people.

This particular painting is pretty hideous but then art is subjective and I'm sure some of my personal art would be considered bad by others.

I took my family on a Christmas market river cruise last December through Austria and Germany and it included a private tour through the modern art museum in Vienna which has several of his original works. Really cool experience and his style was definitely unique.

Your post sounds just right in the voice of Rodney Dangerfield.

Mr. Melon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt.

You too, huh? She's shown it to everybody.

Well, she's very proud of it.

I'm proud of mine too. I don't go waving it around at parties, though.

It's an exceptional painting.

Oh, the painting.
