      There's another short video about her and her auctioneering career. You should check it out. She mentions her hair. Early in her auctioneers she was told not to touch or play with her hair so she has put it up ever since and made kind of a show of it. She really is awesome though isn't she to watch?

      I grew up in the Midwest where the auctioneer style is the rapid fire patter they do, but I much prefer the style you find at higher class auctions like Sothebys, Christies and Bonhams.

      Most of the reason why they bid is because they are bored, extremely rich and want to brag to others when they display it in their homes. They can also avoid taxes by paying for expensive art and a way to protect wealth during inflation.

      It’s a good question. I searched up the artist of the painting in the video, and there wasn’t as much as I’d thought there’d be for someone whose painting sold for $1.8mil. She graduated from art school, gained recognition in the art world for her style of work, picked up traction with exhibitions and some permanent pieces in museums, and now, her work is sold for $1.8mil. All that info is actually from the bio Sotheby’s wrote on their site. She doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.

    • @justmeeagainn
      @justmeeagainn 2 месяца назад +3

      An object is "worth" exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. It's just paint on canvas. But enough people wanted it for whatever reason to compete against each other to acquire it. Why is anything worth what it costs? Nothing can be said to be "overpriced" if someone wants to, is willing to, and can afford to pay that price for it. Free your mind and the rest will follow.
      Also, it's not a "piece of shit" as you replied to someone else. It's a nice painting.
