That one. Have a good day!
As a college student at an art school right now can I just say THANK YOU FOR LITERALLY SAYING WHAT'S BEEN ON MY MIND EVER SINCE I STARTED STUDYING ART!! I think it's RIDICULOUS the amount of money you have to pay for paintings that look like it could take you 10 seconds to make. Sure sure, there could be a "deeper meaning" or whatever, but paying MILLIONS for that is so stupid to me. This literally made my day, thank you for this haha.
REAL i'm right there with you!!!! the representational pieces tho I can get behind, like Lichtenstein who changed up the compositions of the comic pages n whatnot...just not for that price tag 🤣
I do not agree honestly!! Because it made you angry!!! And that is what art is meant to do (make you feel feelings) so the more you feel for it, the more it’s worth in my eyes!! :) also art is so personal!
ummm, im with you when it comes to the money, but art- is not appriciated due to the time it takes to be created or how 'perfect' it is. Ok, learn how to draw perfectly that doesnt make you an artist. Kris is not an aritst and she doesnt have knowledge of why and when these were created. again im not saying all of them are good. But ,please, art is not all renaissance art and art is not only paintings. People should start educating themselves on art and history- theory of it.
@@desireeroseta1421another argument with your point is the whole “I could do that”, yeah, but you didn’t! Maybe it’s more touchy for me since I have a degree in art history, but the points of most of these pieces was question the status quo of what was considered “art”, and some even to give off an “aura” or vibe based on carefully chosen colors (aka the Rothko)
when i was in high school i spent 8 hours on an anime sketch with a full scenery and watercolor background and my art teacher said it was real art and the same week we had a lesson on renaissance art vs modern art and had shown a canvas with one... ONE splat of color and talked about how beautiful and deep it was for 20 mins I HATED HER
Hello! I actually just learned about Mark Rhothko in my art class and everyone is totally entitled to their opinion but theres actually more to his work. His solid color artwork was made when himself as an artist felt as if his artwork wasnt significant in the slightest after coming out of the second world war, and the cold war. In fact a lot of artists went through that feeling of uselessness at that time. So he decided that he would create an experience over something to gawk at. That painting that kris looked at in reality is insainely huge. Like im talking 10 by 8 feet. (Im not 100 percent sure about the dimensions of that specific painting but just imagine big.) Rhothko wanted his art to be viewed extreamly up close and personal. His paintings are intended to be veiwed at five inches away from the face so your vision is completely enveloped in the color he painted. On a day to day basis that experience is very rare and out of the ordinary for you to experience. Im gonna be honest i thought his paintings were really pretentious at first but after learning about him ive gained a new appreciation for his work. Im not telling anyone how to feel either i just thought id shed some light into something people might not know a lot about. :)
When I hear about these "Over-rated" pieces of art; I always wonder what the story is behind it, because that is often where the perceived value comes from. Thank you for the back story!
The price for most expensive fine art is almost never anything to do with the art. It's the perfect money laundering scheme for the ultra wealthy and has been for a long time now. "Adam ruins everything" does a great dive into it.
Fun fact, with the pop art looking piece (10:23), that is not actually pointillism. it is a style developed in the 1950's for comic books called Ben-day dots. It is supposed to make colors pop and make it easier to create vibrant panels that don't take too much ink to print out. the style was wildly popular from the 50's and 60's and was used in a lot of pop art pieces as a way of creating new, eye-catching pieces that stood out amongst traditional and post-modern art.
After a semester in a painting class where my professor praised literal crap and deemed everyone who disagreed as people who just didn't understand good art...this video very much resonated with me.
As an art student I've realized that most pieces that look simple and sell for millions of dollars are because the person making them are VERY good at selling themselves. Hence the man that painted two canvases blue and made 43.8m 🙃
As an art student I love hearing these opinions, knowing I've had the same opinions, learned more about WHY these were made - understanding WHY, and still having the same opinion, and cry when I see these paintings happening.
Artists usually get paid very little, and someone else profits from selling their work. It doesn’t matter if it’s fine art or graphic art or cartoons or what have you. Then later, usually after they’re dead, it ends up in a museum.
Note on the Lichtenstein - the dots are imitating the half-tone process that would have been used if it had been printed it in a newspaper or comic book. That is why they are so uniform.
@@kallmekrisalso I would like to point out that Roy Liechtenstein’s name is pronounced lick-tin-stine. It’s a little confusing bc it’s ch instead of just c or k but I’ve done research on him. It’s pretty interesting. No hate I love you sm!! ❤
@kallmekris - yeah, one of the many stupid things learned as a military photojournalist/newspaper editor in the 20th century. But you are dead on with all those paintings (Rothko WTF) Roy L's artwork is very fun, but totally not $20,000,000 fun.
As someone who has a degree in Fine Art, I absolutely agree with you, Kris. These paintings are for sheep who want to look intellectual by ‘loving’ a piece because the art world tells them they should. Serious artists who create beautiful pieces or pieces that communicate social commentary can’t make a living because people fall all over themselves to buy this Pollack-esque garbage. Chuck Close’s hyper realism isn’t exactly the most beautiful work in the world, but I admire it for its technical mastery. And yet, you never hear about him anymore.
This reminds me of how as a Creative Writing major, I was annoyed by pretentious classes/professors going on about specific significance in poems, biographical interpretations, and so on. So I wrote a piece of poetry SPECIFICALLY meant to confound and confuse people using those kinds of interpretive techniques, and lead them to entirely wrong conclusions about me and my life. 5 years later, I gave that poem to another creative writer as a "see how clever I am" jest, and not only did she pull it apart, but she pointed out how every element of the poem WAS, in fact, ACCURATELY describing me.
When I was in art school back in the middle ages, we were given an assignment: make a collage from magazines, then paint a picture of the collage we made. I had so much fun making a stupid collage- a dead goldfish belly up in a fish bowl, with other stuff... I wasn't going for a message, it was just fun colorful images. My professor went on and on in the critique- clearly it referenced this painter and that one, and was a commentary on blah de blah. Then she looked at me and said, "That's right, isn't it?" Being young and stupid, I replied, "Ummm...it's a dead fish." Professor wasn't amused. Class was.
I edit books for a living. My favorite thing is when people pull apart the meaning of books online but when I ask the author if that's why they wrote it, they always say, "Nope. I wrote it because it was a good story."
Makes me think of reading Catcher in the Rye in high school 15 years ago...like, why tf do I care that Holden's jacket is blue?!?! The author probably just liked blue 🙄
@@noteworthyinsignificance In my opinion, that's the beauty of art. Once I've made something, I'm done with it, and moving on to something new. The different interpretations are fine, and valid- whatever you feel is valid whether I intended it or not. The problem I have is when someone says the artist CLEARLY intended this, because only the artist knows what they intended. Sometimes a dead fish can be a statement about society. Sometimes, though, it's just a dead fish.
You’re inspiring me so hard kris, you’re just…doing this, screw it. I’ve been too scared to start an Etsy to sell my stuff because I’m worried I might price it wrong or whatever…I’ve been taking it too seriously, I need to just do it….with a bottle of wine next to me, Lord know I get anxious over the silliest things. Thanks Kris!
The first art looked like someone went through a drive-wash station and took a pic of their sunroof halfway into the process and said "Yeah! This looks great!"
So one of the main reasons some art is so expensive is because it's used alot now in business transactions. Traffickers of all kinds, arms dealers, anything that can be linked by a ton of cash, art is used. It can be whatever amount you put to it
The painting at the 08:15 mark makes you wonder if she wasn't really all that far off then.. like "dude we need something to 'sell' fast so we can transfer this cash" and the 2nd guy is like "well, I've got this!" and the 1st guy is like "Perfect!!! Everyone expects expensive art to make be ugly and make no sense!!"
I just finished a senior seminar project that was 81 pages. I’m only writing about myself and my life. It’s nothing special. Anyone could write that much about their own life, but in it I mention art like this. The genius behind art like this is yeah you could do it. You could make these paintings and sell them, but you didn’t. You don’t. You didn’t take the same path to reach that idea and outcome as the artist did. Art embraces originality even when it’s just a greenish blue line on a blue background, because someone did that before anyone else thought to. I see beauty in that, personally.
Amazing comment. I use this logic when I make my own art. I aspire to create something unique. A new idea, technique, materials, etc. Originality is key. It saddens me when people demean art as not being valuable or good without taking the time to understand why it is.
I personally really enjoy Mark Rothko's work, when it comes to abstract it tends to get a bad wrap because it can be super easy to make but it tends to be more about the idea than the product. Such as Rothko, he is known for the color block work and what you're suppose to do is just look at the piece and absorb the colors and how they make you feel emotionally. Interesting fact is his earlier work is much more colorful and towards the end of his life they get darker, really playing in on the emotions he was feeling as he had unfortunately unalived himself. Completely understand bashing on the rich using art for the wrong reasons but the artist may have more intentions behind their art that what is shown on canvas. Abstract art was once a new, crazy idea.
@@amitavachatterjee6996 well if you were really good at art before got well known and was one of the first ones to try to do it, make some kind of connection to the psychology of colors before it was well know, and so on... possibly. kind of hard to get into those circles that happen to have that kind of cash though and usually you need to work your way up from about a hundred or so per piece then into the thousands and so on
Okay, I was at Mass MoCA a couple months ago, and I fucking swear one of these paintings was LITERALLY A BLANK WHITE CANVAS, with some scraps of multi colored paper STAPLED to it ! Like a fucking bored three year old could do that on a random rainy Saturday ! WTF
@@roguered706 Same. I saw Kris and immediately thought she's getting a bit of a tan in Texas. Can't complain about being ghost white anymore 😂😂😂😂! At least Kris looks beautiful with or without a tan. 😊😊😊
14:34..ngl... The part before adding the bubbles or black piant or sunflower was really good... Like... It's a great blend of colours that would've been sold for room decor or something...
I'd love to see a deep dive video on the racket of art pricing for taxes evasion by Kris. I think the premise is well know, but a mini-documentary style following the scam through the modern age would be beneficial, and delivery by Kris in her style would reach many people who are in the dark.
I took a very advanced art class in college cause I needed more credits before the end of the year so I was completely out of my depth the entire class but somehow passed at the end cause of an abstract painting i quickly threw together, like I literally put paint on a canvas then chucked it into a field of wet grass and when I gave it to my pretentious art teacher he started crying because he thought i was a savant or something
I really appreciate art that has art with in it. Like art work that say is a dinner and with in the dinner there is "art" on the walls. Gives me that endless mirror vibe. Love ya KmK
I was thinking it was most likely a print done through a silk screen because it's too precise to be a painting. Sure, people can paint circles and lines, but they're never this perfect. You can make pop art with screen printing too.
So, both myself and my mum are artists. We completely agree with your opinions on these specific pieces. I studied art and art history at University, and I get art is art, but it's not like these are Monet or Manet artworks... which are actually amazing. I'm also not a fan of Picasso, personally, but I do understand people wanting a named/infamous artist painting.
in the mark Rothko painting there is actually a lot of technic which is hard to see in a picture but irl they are actually really pretty because he layers his paints super thinly on top of eachother which makes them really dynamic
Came to the comments looking for this. I've been to the Rothko Chapel several times, each time is like a new experience. Standing in front of the canvases and taking in all of the subtlety of the brush strokes and shades that reveal themselves was like an awakening - Rothko's paintings and Alessandro Cortini's Forse trilogy were probably the two biggest inspirations for me as I began to explore minimalism in my own creative endeavors.
I’ve never gotten over seeing a giant white canvas with a small red square in the middle in a museum and finding out it was worth millions. I was a kid, and I couldn’t understand how something I did in kindergarten was considered fine art. I’ve read arguments about how a red square could be art, and I have a minor in Art and I still don’t think it makes sense.
Not me actually appreciating each artwork 😭 I have been researching each artist to learn more about their stories and it is actually pretty interesting And I like looking at different techniques each artist uses I’m probably just geeking out but oh well
At time stamp 14:44 Kris's painting was actually really nice. Yes I found it visually pleasing and i would have no problem hanging it on my walls. However I wouldn't pay through the nose for it. I think it could make a great print for sale though.
My mom was a professional artist, and spent hours on her paintings, and I am kinda sad to see that art has become a visual bitcoin. BUT...maybe the value of her art will skyrocket, and I can cry all the way to the bank.
For what is basically an abstract art shitpost, it was looking pretty good! Think I would've stopped before the arglblargl fingerpainting and just flicked some black and white paint for texture and kept the overall visual interest of the colors.
I think it should be noted most of these got expensive after the artist died. The artists aren't pricing them like this, it's just billionaire investors ripping off other billionaire investors and trying to get tax credits and/or stash assets
I once heard that art is only worth as much as it is because its actually used to "clean" dirty money. The person that told me was really into conspiracies though so I took it with a grain of salt
That's not far off the mark and in a lot of cases it's a way to "hide" the money from the tax man. If the money is sat in the bank it's classed as income if it's sat on the wall as art it's classed as wealth. Very very different in the tax world.
Me: Immediately searches it up on Etsy Also Kris if you see this, you’re an absolute legend and one of my favourite RUclipsrs!!! Thank you so much for your positivity (((:
I love Kris's videos....and as someone who is an artist myself, I will say that usually the artists themselves aren't the ones putting the prices on the art pieces themselves, but the people who originally bought them from the artists (or the ones that got ahold of a deceased artists artwork)
As someone who love Kris but also studies the tragic story of Mark Rothko and his art….this one hurt. For anyone who want to learn a great intro is the play “Red” which covers his art pretty well.
that's so funny, I just commented about him before I went thru other comments. I don't know his story but his work resonates with me. my best friend is a fan and also a former museum nerd so she explains certain things to me to make them seem less "anybody could do this."
@@bistromathics6 that’s the fun thing with art. Each art piece isnt for everyone. It’s totally reasonable to experience a piece and determine it’s not for you. Everyone has things that resonate with them, if Rothko or Red weren’t for you that’s totally fair. I personally love to see more people’s perspectives and preferences- do you have a specific artist you do jibe with?
I think that a major part of artworks is not really being an amazing painter or “one of the greats” but more so being able to think of something new and original which in my opinion is a lot harder to do (and this is also why “the greats” are so famous because they where able to make something so original for their time)
Here's a few signs that's it's a good day: 1-The weather is nice. 2-Somebody compliments you. 3-Nothing bad happens. 4-You're not sleep deprived after work. 5-You see Kallmekris uploaded a new video. 🎉
My usual response to people who say "I could have done that" or "my kid could have done that" is "maybe, but you didn't. THEY did..." Art, especially if this sort, has to have the era in which it was created taken into account. If art has been a certain way for a long time, and then somebody comes along and does art line this, it can be a big deal. They are shaking up what's considered acceptable and that often ends up with that artist being very important figure, historically. The price of their art will eventually reflect that. Also, the fine art industrial complex is a sham designed to put more money in collectors pockets and artificially create "investment" scenarios.
Took a art appreciation class for fun, and the moral of the story was art makes you feel something. Please note there is a toilet that was submitted as an example. Kris hating paintings just reminded me of that. Edit: Spelling
Would have been nice had she kept the painting in her etsy store longer than 24hrs of posting the video as even the store doesn't exist anymore. I think she posted the video after the fact thus advertising it's existence after the fact
Thank you so much, Kris, for creating incredible content and showering us with such wonderful compliments. Your creativity and kind words truly mean the world to us! 🤠
Ah yes the wonderful world of art. Have your baby throw it’s good at a canvas and trace it and then paint it and BOOM! Modern art lol. And thanks for calling me priceless you are also priceless Kris ❤️
Kris is just so lovely and complimentary, she is so funny and her new house looks great! Kris is so cool! Kris do not forgot to adopt a kid with an accent!
honestly I agree, like someone can spend HOURS on art and people are "oh that's cool guess it's nice" and then they see stuff with just paint thrown at the paper/canvas and people are just like "OH. MY. GOD! THIS WILL SELL FOR THOUSANDS!!" like hello?
As a person who taught Art History at a university I have a couple of ideas : 1. The state of education in Canada ( kmk can't pronounce one word in french to save her life). 2. After You finish Art History 101 , then we talk. 3. Be My guest, make a painting and take it to Sotheby's ( I will give You the street address gladly)
Some of them are sold in auctions for the profits of foundations supporting different causes and institutions like museum, schools, etc. The donation IS tax déductible and owning an "art" collection can raise your fortune value and assets. It is a win/win scenario for the buyers, hence the ludicrous prices! Buyer's can also be a financial institution or a government branch.
'if I can't pronounce it, it's probably expensive' is the line I remember form the very first video of Kallmekris I watched ,it was awesome!

The painting at the 08:15 mark makes you wonder if she wasn't really all that far off then.. like "dude we need something to 'sell' fast so we can transfer this cash" and the 2nd guy is like "well, I've got this!" and the 1st guy is like "Perfect!!! Everyone expects expensive art to make be ugly and make no sense!!"
I just finished a senior seminar project that was 81 pages. I’m only writing about myself and my life. It’s nothing special. Anyone could write that much about their own life, but in it I mention art like this. The genius behind art like this is yeah you could do it. You could make these paintings and sell them, but you didn’t. You don’t. You didn’t take the same path to reach that idea and outcome as the artist did. Art embraces originality even when it’s just a greenish blue line on a blue background, because someone did that before anyone else thought to. I see beauty in that, personally.
Amazing comment. I use this logic when I make my own art. I aspire to create something unique. A new idea, technique, materials, etc. Originality is key. It saddens me when people demean art as not being valuable or good without taking the time to understand why it is.
I personally really enjoy Mark Rothko's work, when it comes to abstract it tends to get a bad wrap because it can be super easy to make but it tends to be more about the idea than the product. Such as Rothko, he is known for the color block work and what you're suppose to do is just look at the piece and absorb the colors and how they make you feel emotionally. Interesting fact is his earlier work is much more colorful and towards the end of his life they get darker, really playing in on the emotions he was feeling as he had unfortunately unalived himself. Completely understand bashing on the rich using art for the wrong reasons but the artist may have more intentions behind their art that what is shown on canvas. Abstract art was once a new, crazy idea.
i love Rothko's colour composition because it was influenced by J.M.W Turner
Brittany Broski did a really good video on Rothko that helped me appreciate his art more. Highly recommend.
So if I color using the sad pallette on a canvas and then unalived myself , that makes my painting worth 30m?
@@amitavachatterjee6996 well if you were really good at art before got well known and was one of the first ones to try to do it, make some kind of connection to the psychology of colors before it was well know, and so on... possibly. kind of hard to get into those circles that happen to have that kind of cash though and usually you need to work your way up from about a hundred or so per piece then into the thousands and so on
@@amitavachatterjee6996 It would if a rich person years later decided to capitalize on your piece for tax benefits
Okay, I was at Mass MoCA a couple months ago, and I fucking swear one of these paintings was LITERALLY A BLANK WHITE CANVAS, with some scraps of multi colored paper STAPLED to it ! Like a fucking bored three year old could do that on a random rainy Saturday ! WTF
i cant explain but Kris is literally GLOWING WITH BEAUTY ⭐⭐⭐💗💗💗💗
👀 is this a prediction?
Why is it the moment someone is in a relationship, people start speculating pregnancy?
I think she's glowing with too much strong Texas sunlight. Lol
@@roguered706 Agreed.
@@roguered706 Same. I saw Kris and immediately thought she's getting a bit of a tan in Texas. Can't complain about being ghost white anymore 😂😂😂😂! At least Kris looks beautiful with or without a tan. 😊😊😊
14:34..ngl... The part before adding the bubbles or black piant or sunflower was really good... Like... It's a great blend of colours that would've been sold for room decor or something...
I'd love to see a deep dive video on the racket of art pricing for taxes evasion by Kris. I think the premise is well know, but a mini-documentary style following the scam through the modern age would be beneficial, and delivery by Kris in her style would reach many people who are in the dark.
11:57 the paintings look like when you're signing up for a social media platform and they give you a test to prove that you're not a bot
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I took a very advanced art class in college cause I needed more credits before the end of the year so I was completely out of my depth the entire class but somehow passed at the end cause of an abstract painting i quickly threw together, like I literally put paint on a canvas then chucked it into a field of wet grass and when I gave it to my pretentious art teacher he started crying because he thought i was a savant or something
Ahaha that's pretty funny
Gods, art teachers are something else 😭
I really appreciate art that has art with in it. Like art work that say is a dinner and with in the dinner there is "art" on the walls. Gives me that endless mirror vibe. Love ya KmK
Roy Lichtenstein isn't "Pointillism" it's American Pop-Art. It's meant to mimic newsprint, like the comics page in old newspapers.
I've always dug that art style. Besides pop-art is suppose to be the deconstruction of the art industry & it's pretentiousness.
I was thinking it was most likely a print done through a silk screen because it's too precise to be a painting. Sure, people can paint circles and lines, but they're never this perfect. You can make pop art with screen printing too.
So, both myself and my mum are artists. We completely agree with your opinions on these specific pieces.
I studied art and art history at University, and I get art is art, but it's not like these are Monet or Manet artworks... which are actually amazing. I'm also not a fan of Picasso, personally, but I do understand people wanting a named/infamous artist painting.
in the mark Rothko painting there is actually a lot of technic which is hard to see in a picture but irl they are actually really pretty because he layers his paints super thinly on top of eachother which makes them really dynamic
Came to the comments looking for this. I've been to the Rothko Chapel several times, each time is like a new experience. Standing in front of the canvases and taking in all of the subtlety of the brush strokes and shades that reveal themselves was like an awakening - Rothko's paintings and Alessandro Cortini's Forse trilogy were probably the two biggest inspirations for me as I began to explore minimalism in my own creative endeavors.
Thank God. A comment from someone who has actually researched the art being discussed. Thank you.
I guarantee you that if you put this on auction it will fetch quite a sum. Not millions, but people love when famous people make art.
I’ve never gotten over seeing a giant white canvas with a small red square in the middle in a museum and finding out it was worth millions. I was a kid, and I couldn’t understand how something I did in kindergarten was considered fine art.
I’ve read arguments about how a red square could be art, and I have a minor in Art and I still don’t think it makes sense.
Not me actually appreciating each artwork 😭
I have been researching each artist to learn more about their stories and it is actually pretty interesting
And I like looking at different techniques each artist uses
I’m probably just geeking out but oh well
Same 😭😂😂😂
THANK you, omg
some of these pieces are actually worth it, it's just that people don't bother to look into it :C
PLEASE exaplin to me how a fully blue canvas or a splat of paint is worth millions, I'm genuinely curious and dumbfounded
At time stamp 14:44 Kris's painting was actually really nice. Yes I found it visually pleasing and i would have no problem hanging it on my walls. However I wouldn't pay through the nose for it. I think it could make a great print for sale though.
I think the black ruined it
@@duckmania150 me to. That was added after the point of me liking the result.
My mom was a professional artist, and spent hours on her paintings, and I am kinda sad to see that art has become a visual bitcoin. BUT...maybe the value of her art will skyrocket, and I can cry all the way to the bank.
THANK YOU! I’m a watercolor artist and this crap really makes me nuts. You win my everlasting appreciation for this video. 💜💜💜💜💜
Kris, your art unironically actually looks good Is my brain is broken or am I not the only one?
Yeah! I liked what she named it too 😂😂
I really liked it too!
Right?!?
It looks so good!!
It's time we compliment Kris! Your hair looks soooo good! The red really compliments your eyes! 🤩
😂😅
ssssssss
I have panic attacks every now and then and watching your videos makes me feel calm
I love how no skit in the intro is ever repeated and that every single time she compliments us she never repeats the compliments twice
Kris is literally the sweetest person ever in her intros, then proceeds to call paintings "asswipes" 😂❤️
😂😂😂😂😂
When kris compliments us at the start of her videos my heart just lights up❤and so dose my face
The super busy paintings with no specific images make me want to stare at them like they are Magic Eye photos. 😂
Thanks Kris for making me smile
The world needs more people like Kris.
I love how you compliment us in every video! It really helps me with my self-esteem
0:02 OH MY GOD KRIS YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you for being you Kris!
Never change and love yourself!
I love her videos sm. I love when she compliments us, her humor, and when she randomly HITS PETE. That’s not even supposed to be creepy either ✌️
For what is basically an abstract art shitpost, it was looking pretty good! Think I would've stopped before the arglblargl fingerpainting and just flicked some black and white paint for texture and kept the overall visual interest of the colors.
I think it should be noted most of these got expensive after the artist died. The artists aren't pricing them like this, it's just billionaire investors ripping off other billionaire investors and trying to get tax credits and/or stash assets
Kris' hair is just amazing right now- it's so fluffy, beautiful as always❤️
Kris is so naturally creative and talented! I think the painting came out great. I just love Kris’ imagination through the painting!
I once heard that art is only worth as much as it is because its actually used to "clean" dirty money. The person that told me was really into conspiracies though so I took it with a grain of salt
This makes sense! Kind of like, why are there so very many brick & mortar mattress stores?😂😂
That's not far off the mark and in a lot of cases it's a way to "hide" the money from the tax man. If the money is sat in the bank it's classed as income if it's sat on the wall as art it's classed as wealth. Very very different in the tax world.
I love how kris compliments us all the time even though half of us probably look like a busted up radiator💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
A busted radiator, I love the expression
Me: Immediately searches it up on Etsy
Also Kris if you see this, you’re an absolute legend and one of my favourite RUclipsrs!!! Thank you so much for your positivity (((:
I looked for it too, but couldn't find it. 😭
Srsss!! Where is it?!
Did you find it? I couldn’t!
@@sarailopez3331 I didn't 😲😲
To all of you guys asking, I couldn’t find it either 😭😭😭
I’m from Sweden and my english teacher talked brithis whit us so now i talk like this ”can i have a botta of wa-a” 😭 love you❤
Oh my gosh, I can’t wait for another Kris Ross video. Please we need another!
Congrats on 11mil kris your very much deserving of it
I love Kris's videos....and as someone who is an artist myself, I will say that usually the artists themselves aren't the ones putting the prices on the art pieces themselves, but the people who originally bought them from the artists (or the ones that got ahold of a deceased artists artwork)
Why is that actually really good?! I can make up SO many interpretations of the art!
As someone who love Kris but also studies the tragic story of Mark Rothko and his art….this one hurt.
For anyone who want to learn a great intro is the play “Red” which covers his art pretty well.
Nother Rothko fan here (who also watches Kris' content)! Tragic story indeed, tragic.
that's so funny, I just commented about him before I went thru other comments. I don't know his story but his work resonates with me. my best friend is a fan and also a former museum nerd so she explains certain things to me to make them seem less "anybody could do this."
Saw the play, hated the play. Would never buy it, for this and other reasons. No matter what the price, it's hideous
@@bistromathics6 that’s the fun thing with art. Each art piece isnt for everyone. It’s totally reasonable to experience a piece and determine it’s not for you. Everyone has things that resonate with them, if Rothko or Red weren’t for you that’s totally fair.
I personally love to see more people’s perspectives and preferences- do you have a specific artist you do jibe with?
@@sylvfallenThe artist I vibe with most, in recent years, is Paul Klee. It’s simple, child-like, and uplifting to me.
Her intros are just perfection. Always managed to make them unique✨✨✨
I think that a major part of artworks is not really being an amazing painter or “one of the greats” but more so being able to think of something new and original which in my opinion is a lot harder to do (and this is also why “the greats” are so famous because they where able to make something so original for their time)
Nailed it!
Here's a few signs that's it's a good day:
1-The weather is nice.
2-Somebody compliments you.
3-Nothing bad happens.
4-You're not sleep deprived after work.
5-You see Kallmekris uploaded a new video. 🎉
Overpriced artwork will never be not funny bc it could legit be a bunch of squiggles and a smiley face 😂😂😂❤
I m an artist and I never understood some of the art that is so expensive (mostly abstract). Thank you for doing this.
The first painting looks actually very pretty to me. The colors speak to me. But I agree that art can be quite weird.
My usual response to people who say "I could have done that" or "my kid could have done that" is "maybe, but you didn't. THEY did..."
Art, especially if this sort, has to have the era in which it was created taken into account.
If art has been a certain way for a long time, and then somebody comes along and does art line this, it can be a big deal.
They are shaking up what's considered acceptable and that often ends up with that artist being very important figure, historically.
The price of their art will eventually reflect that.
Also, the fine art industrial complex is a sham designed to put more money in collectors pockets and artificially create "investment" scenarios.
this is the proper response right here.
👏🏽
As an artist this was SUCH a fun video to watch!! Love you're stuff girl!!
00:08 This is the most supreme compliment one can ever receive.
I've always wanted to see a vidio of kris painting cause she's really good💕❤️
Took a art appreciation class for fun, and the moral of the story was art makes you feel something. Please note there is a toilet that was submitted as an example. Kris hating paintings just reminded me of that.
Edit: Spelling
Kris’s art is actually good though 14:59
Would have been nice had she kept the painting in her etsy store longer than 24hrs of posting the video as even the store doesn't exist anymore. I think she posted the video after the fact thus advertising it's existence after the fact
Yeah I wonder who bought it
Love the compliments, AND THE RETURN OF EDGAR! honestly the best RUclipsr on the platform, love your stuff! ❤
Abstract is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Real art is worth everything for the time, care and effort that goes into it.
Que up Onglo Gablobian.
Her compliments cure my body dysmorphia 😭❤️
That intro was so sweet and I actually needed that. You never disappoint augh you're amazing
Thank you so much, Kris, for creating incredible content and showering us with such wonderful compliments. Your creativity and kind words truly mean the world to us! 🤠
i love kris so much shes so pretty and her intros are so good sometimes questionable but mostly good❤❤
KRIS UPLOADED! GUYS QUEEN UPLOADED 🫶🏻
Kris, as a British person, your accent is perfect 😭 I would think you were British if I hadn't seen any other videos before 🧍♂️
Ah yes the wonderful world of art. Have your baby throw it’s good at a canvas and trace it and then paint it and BOOM! Modern art lol. And thanks for calling me priceless you are also priceless Kris ❤️
So true!😂❤
Kris always compliments us so why don’t we compliment her? Kris, your smile makes our day every time you upload. 😁
Kris Kompliments 👇🏼
Kris, your eyes look like a warm sunny day in the middle of summer. ❤️
Edgar, look at this masterpiece I have discovered, she calls herself "Kris"
Her telling me I look fire while I’m laying in bed at 11pm in a nightgown and my hair in a towel turban made my day. Thanks kris!
I watch KMK because of the compliments at the start, and that KMK is amazing. I really needed a compliment today :3
Kris is just so lovely and complimentary, she is so funny and her new house looks great! Kris is so cool! Kris do not forgot to adopt a kid with an accent!
honestly I agree, like someone can spend HOURS on art and people are "oh that's cool guess it's nice" and then they see stuff with just paint thrown at the paper/canvas and people are just like "OH. MY. GOD! THIS WILL SELL FOR THOUSANDS!!" like hello?
2:00 BESTIE! Haven’t we all. We have lived so many lifetimes since then
"It's all a LIE!" (hyperventilates into mic) 😂 Yeah, it is ridiculous... But this video was hilarious.
As a person who taught Art History at a university I have a couple of ideas : 1. The state of education in Canada ( kmk can't pronounce one word in french to save her life). 2. After You finish Art History 101 , then we talk. 3. Be My guest, make a painting and take it to Sotheby's ( I will give You the street address gladly)
Ah come on! C'est pas donné à tout le monde de parler plusieurs langues. Elle a d'autres talents que vous et moi n'avons pas.
You need to relax, it’s good for your blood pressure 🤣🤣
@@QcArchery C'est vrai. J'adore Joan Miró. ! Kris en parlant comme ca. ! 🤬
@@ruem23_ My blood preassure? Through the roof, My friend
Kris’s compliments saved me from being sewer-cidal. She’s my favorite RUclipsr and probably the nicest I’ve ever seen.
NO F*CKING WAY KRIS ACTUALLY HEARTED MY COMMENT
Girl no it didnt stop lying lmfao
THE WAY JAY APOLOGIZED FOR NOT WRITING A SONG!!!!!!😂😂😂
My favorite piece of modern art that sold for a lot of money is a banana duct taped to a wall.

@ChaosChaos-mk1sn you serious bro

Some of them are sold in auctions for the profits of foundations supporting different causes and institutions like museum, schools, etc. The donation IS tax déductible and owning an "art" collection can raise your fortune value and assets. It is a win/win scenario for the buyers, hence the ludicrous prices! Buyer's can also be a financial institution or a government branch.
