Comments on: Brad Pitt’s Buys $1 Million Neo Rauch Painting http://stylefrizz.com/200906/brad-pitts-buys-1-million-neo-rauch-painting/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:20:17 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ellington http://stylefrizz.com/200906/brad-pitts-buys-1-million-neo-rauch-painting/comment-page-1/#comment-12988 Ellington Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:08:03 +0000 http://stylefrizz.com/?p=12442#comment-12988 The art world is a very nebulous and esoteric thing. It is hard to explain and define at times. I often think that if one likes a piece and is a lover of the style the artist or the message it is trying or not trying to convey then you should purchase it if you can. How is buying this any different from the incredible high price a woman (with the means to do so) pays for Haute Couture? Also Brad Pitt is a known art collector so this is no surprise and I do not this is a whimsical purchase. As for the painting itself I rather like it.

This is still a part of art soap bubble for the snobbish rich I thought was over due to the credit crunch? (Sorry Brad!) As I've read here in the Netherlands Brad bought also work from Atelier Lieshout (Rotterdam). Founder Joep van Lieshout stated that this was nothing special since Brad is a fan of Lieshout and has more work of his. He has also opted to buy a so called Hotel Capsule. One with 6 rooms. See <a href="http://www.ateliervanlieshout.com/works/minicapsulesideentrance.htm" target="new" rel="nofollow">here</a>. We have not to guess why do we? As for this painting not even as a Formula 1 fan I've any desire to hang this on my wall. Further the price for this contemporary piece does really surprise me. This is snob shopping.
