America's most wanted painting...by Komar & Melamid (1994)


yes, i read it somewhere. maybe, for it depicts nature in its glory. but really i think it should be Adele, that Austrian Mona Lisa piece, bought by an American with a price tag of 135 million USD, the most expensive art so far. painting is trying to imitate life...the more to its likeness, like a picture perfect image, the better the painting i think :) why is this art the so called "america's most wanted" artwork. to quote Marcel Duchamp: lifted from a blog... "In the last analysis, the artist may shout from the rooftops that he is a genius; he will have to wait for the verdict of the spectator in order that his declarations take a social value and that, finally, posterity includes him in the primers of Art History"
