murder Member	Fri Sep 24 07:33:03 $135 million? People are on crack. :o)
Habebe Member	Fri Sep 24 07:40:20 Where are these crack heads with 100s of millions of dollars?
murder Member	Fri Sep 24 07:52:40 In the US apparently. :o)
murder Member	Fri Sep 24 07:53:11 Probably bitcoin billionaires.
Paramount Member	Fri Sep 24 09:18:23 If there is a zombie apocalypse in the future, that apartment might become a boss room. Anyhow, I wouldn’t want to live there. It’s too big and too high up for my taste. For $135 million it better come with a free high class cleaning woman or two.
murder Member	Fri Sep 24 09:25:46 For $135 million it better come with its own airport.
kargen Member	Fri Sep 24 16:20:15 The building it is in the average listing goes for a little over $10,000 per square foot. That would put the price at over 83 million if it was nothing special. Hiroshi Sugimoto is kind of the Andy Warhol of his circle so anything he touches is going to be priced accordingly.
Forwyn Member	Fri Sep 24 23:34:56 For less than a quarter of that you could have a beautiful 20k sqft 20bd/20br on thousands of acres in Florida/Texas. Urbanites really oversell the value of sitting in traffic around hobos holding signs.
nhill Member	Sat Sep 25 02:17:47 I get your point, but 20bd/20br is also overselling the value of extra space. ;) Family of 6 here and we can afford a 20k sqft home, yet prefer to be in an RV most of our time. :p Our home base is a family farm where the house is under 3,000 sqft and built in the 60s. Even with multiple homes (differing climates) our largest is 3500 sq ft. So I can see the appeal of a smaller space even when you could get a much larger space somewhere else for the same price. :p That said I don't understand the obsession with city life... our properties are in Texas and Minnesota & mostly rural, but each to their own.
kargen Member	Sat Sep 25 03:21:22 A bit of a tangent but it amazes me what Sugimoto's photography sells for. Check out some of his seascapes. Most photographers would throw shit like that away. http://www...ugimoto-bass-strait-table-cape
nhill Member	Sat Sep 25 04:17:51 > A bit of a tangent but it amazes me what Sugimoto's photography sells for. Check out some of his seascapes. Most photographers would throw shit like that away. Do you realize you don't have a feel for art or are you simply ignorant of it? That piece is magnificent. Nobody can tell you why. It's what it makes you feel. Regardless if "most photographers would throw shit like that away". That's why most photographers aren't able to sell an underexposed low shutterspeed print for $35,000. It's not about what it looks like. It's what it captures.

Paramount Member	Sat Sep 25 06:27:21 Why don’t they furnish with IKEA instead. You can get a table and chairs there for a few dollars only. The design can be stylish too.
TheChildren Member	Sat Sep 25 07:00:55 i betcha those chais do come from ikea...
Habebe Member	Sat Sep 25 07:24:02 My aunt hates IKEA, "boring Swedish shit furniture" I like it I guess.Its cheap basic furniture, does the job.
kargen Member	Sat Sep 25 14:38:05 "Do you realize you don't have a feel for art or are you simply ignorant of it? That piece is magnificent. Nobody can tell you why. It's what it makes you feel." Nah its crap as far as photography goes. He just spins a good story about why it is crap worth thousands. It is his reality and his reality commands a high price. "My photographs exist in a space between objects that bamboozle and people who are bamboozled." HIROSHI SUGIMOTO "I didn't want to be criticized for taking low-quality photographs, so I tried to reach the best, highest quality of photography and then to combine this with a conceptual art practice. But thinking back, that was the wrong decision [laughs]. Developing a low-quality aesthetic is a sign of serious fine art-I still see this." Hiroshi Sugimoto The Children he is a minimalist. Beyond that he is a successful minimalist. Much like his photos you are buying what isn't there as much as what is there. I'm not a fan but a lot of people are. The guy missed the point on the table. The 400 years isn't the selling point really. The selling point is the table isn't fused or pressed. It is one piece of wood and because it was taken from a large tree the lines caused by the growth rings flow nicely. I don't think they are going to get the price listed because of the problems with the entire building but you never know.
nhill Member	Sat Sep 25 16:38:44 lol @ the art analyzoooooor some people insist on remaining clueless ;)
kargen Member	Sat Sep 25 17:53:21 His stuff ranks up there with the banana and the invisible sculpture. I'm not even saying it isn't art. I am saying it isn't a good photograph. Hell he admits they are not good photographs. He goes on to say the art is beyond what is in the photograph. And that is what you purchase. Kind of like your anime waifu. The worth really isn't the object itself but the nuance that goes with the object. If you can attach a name to the nuance you can usually add zeros.
Habebe Member	Sat Sep 25 17:58:11 Those 2 bananas sold for like 120k each IIRC.
nhill Member	Sat Sep 25 18:12:46 Don’t you dare bring my anime waifu into this! ;) I agree that it’s a bad photograph in terms of technicals, but it’s a great piece of art. But you’re certainly correct, the name recognition and authenticity does add zeros.
