Could see that one coming from a mile away!
By the way, VERY funny.
Also, Picasso sucks. Rembrandt is the MAN!

This was the coveted "no stats" version.

The fine print in the catalog clearly states "NO PAY-PAL. Shipping - $2.95 USPS, in a padded mailer."

I think it is a reproduction. The color is slightly different from other Picasso paintings from the same year. You would think somebody who would buy something like that would do their homework. They must be really stupid and I must be superior to them.

It's not a reproduction, it's a proof. The colors are so deep because he had a fresh palette.

Almost everybody is superior to Picasso. The more I look at his stuff the more I scratch my head.

Makes me think I should start investing in R302's.

I have not seen the painting or even an image of it but I think there is something very odd about it based on what I was told by someone who did see an image of it. The type of pain used on the leaves (there are leaves, right?) is not the right shade of green.

Greg, I think you made a Freudian slip; you wrote that the leaves were covered in 'pain.' I appreciate your appreciation for the suffering of the leaves in the painting.

Nah, the only one suffering here is the purchaser, from adding to his or her burden of material things. I just read a statement by a Christie's official and like him, I am delighted people are spending hundreds of millions on art again after having their lives so compromised by the transient market collapse during which they refocused their efforts on stablizing their portfolios. it must have been tough.

Yea, it's nice to see the CEO's and Bank Managers raiding pension funds once again.

It was touch and go there for a bit.

I mean, they worked their way through college and some of them even got really good grades. They're only taking what they have coming to them.

The rest of us are just suckers for choosing a different life path.

Here is a scan of the Picasso I sold recently. I know it is ok because I sold it. Of course it went for substantially less than the one yesterday at Christie's.

about finding it in Grandpa's attic.

But I do hear that there are a pair of african american gentlemen from Ohio going pawn shop to pawn shop hither and yon, trying to convince the world that theirs is the real one...and they won't take Joe Orlando's "No" for an answer!
