#25 — Art, money, pretentiousness, and insanity

About art auctions, Rembrandt (and The Rembrandts), pretentiousness, the diamond industry, elitism, the value of an artwork, Thomas More’s “Utopia”, the difference between a £1000 and a £100 million work of art, exclusivity, Damien Hirst’s shark art, colonialism, the accumulation of skills, art becoming commodity, Jeff Bezos in his cowboy hat, philanthropy, the poetry of Charles Bukowski (not the serial killer!), uplifting garbage, Albert Camus’ “The Stranger”, Jean-Paul Sartre’s “Nausea”, and insanity.  Maja Malmcrona (@majamalmcrona) is an artist from Sweden.
