“The world is burning, people are barely holding on — and millionaires are betting on dead pieces of canvas. Yes, I said it: a piece of canvas. Because art is meant to live, to breathe, to move us — not to be traded like stock or hoarded like trophies. But in their hands, it’s just a price tag. And that’s the tragedy!”

“Jackson Pollock, the renowned American artist known for his abstract expressionist paintings, didn’t often speak at length about the monetary value of his art. He was more focused on the creative and expressive aspects of his work. Pollock did express his thoughts on art in general and his artistic process, but discussions about the market value of his art were not a central theme in his public statements. The value of his art became more prominent in later years, as his works gained significant recognition and fetched high prices in the art market.”
