I don't know. I don't know why I'm being downvoted either. It seems really fascinating. Is it an investment? A storage of wealth? Or did someone really decide they wanted that painting in their life instead of a brand new Boeing 747, for example? It's obviously not really worth that much, so what's it all about? Inflation is mainly due to money being creamed off into the hands of rich people, but all they are getting for it is a painting? I guess once your belly is full every day and your living environment is no less than 21 degrees at all times it really just becomes a game. None of us have more than 24 hours in a single day.
