No matter what the perceived intrinsic values of the originals of these works might be, this auction house’s price expectations are difficult to get one’s head around. More so considering that the listed entries are but one in a series of prints in each case and in some cases prints from one of a series of similar original works. The prints are listed on a German owned art market auction website based in New York.
Rejigit enthusiastically encourages artistic pursuit of every description however this end of the market looks farcical. These auction offerings give new meaning to the adage "a means of printing money".
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art. Andy Warhol
