I think that Jackson Pollock is a great artist, don't get me wrong. I just don't understand how No. 5 can go for 140 million. A painting like No. 5 is exceptionally personal, and I would think would only have that much value to the artist himself. You can tell his work is not about the ending, but about the process involved, yet others pay more for it than ANY other artist (including Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, etc.)
I just don't understand how from a purely financial standpoint, Pollock is better than any one else.
