    I must say, art is a derivative of culture and if we don't enthusiastically embrace it, we will lose our souls.

    As many have already.

    I have no problem with art as a whole. However, a piece of art is not worth £25 million to a country that has welfare to pay, etc...There are very similar paintings to ones that are worth so much, so why not spend on those if it is the painting that helps our culture. the reason people buy the art is for symbolism. A status symbol or something. By the governemnt spending money on a £25 mmillion piece of art, has it helped 99% of the nations people to realise our culture. NO. In fact, the 1% of the people it has had an impact on are more likely to be middle to upper class anyway, so it is ironic that the money spent on the art, which could be spent on the poor, is only enjoyed by a majority of rich.

    € - cool

    All newbs will post repeat threads at first, it just happens, but then they will learn not to, and become your typical bitter veteran posters, who get angry at newbies who repeat post, it all works out.

    Was thinking about it lol. I was expecting something in the range of £2-3000. Boy was i surprised when they said £8-10,000. They must be on drugs. But it does look very nice :-D
