if it's in the clifford still museum, the painting is theoretically PRICELESS, as it will never be sold.

therefore, the damage has no monetary value.

$30 million for that? Ridiculous.

Are you recruiting for ass sliders to slide down your own collection? I'm sure there are plenty of Slog readers who would volunteer.

Jen, I have some paintings I would like to sell you. They are very expensive.

Max @3, actually, the museum sold one of the paintings in the collection about a month ago to come up with money for operating costs. It went for a shit-ton of money ($40 million if I remember correctly).

"Stupid purists. As for me, I'd much rather buy a painting that has had an ass slide down it than one that hasn't."

With that, Jen Graves is officially my favorite art critic of all time.

Hanging art at-or-below ass-level is a calculated risk.

Didn't Jackson Pollack create some of his abstract impressionist paintings by dipping his ass in paint and sliding it down a canvas?

And his sell for more.

Hence, she increased the value.

Also, no less an artist than the late great Farrah Fawcett produced art by slathering her naked body in paint and then smooshing her naked painted self up against the canvas.

Precedent! sort of

I was just at the Clyfford Still museum...only a couple days before this happened. His stuff is really remarkable; it's a shame to hear that some drunk idiot defaced it.

Nice to handle and nice to hold, but once you rub your bare ass all over it (and pee all over it) consider it SOLD!

It totally depends on the woman whom the ass belongs to. I agree w/ the gallery, some drunken Denver bitch's ass totally reduces the value of the painting.
