How about Richter? One of my favorites.
None of that abstract st...
Richter, no!
I would pay oodles of money for a Rothko.
Somehow he got worse with age?
I'd rather take a technical marvel than an obscure thingymajig to look at.
What's stopping me from drawing a yellow line on a green canvas and cashing in a couple million dollars?

I think ideas are more important than raw technical skill.
Fuck feeding the hungry or sheltering the homeless, I needs me some shitty art
Thread on art? 20 pages, and every other response is either "This isn't art!" or "Anything is art!".

I know it's a cliche but literally anyone could paint that.

Are you telling me you WOULDN'T pay millions for this picture of Brian Blessed and Goldie racing Rainbow Road on vacuum cleaners, drunk on cheap cider?

I like to think it's a way for rich people to buy intellectualism that doesn't exist in the first place, everyone is too scared to say "I don't get it". I despise bullshit art that lacks effort.
Because if something is cheap people don't think is worth it. It's the same damn reason publishers don't want to see their games below $60.

This. although way oversimplified.
In reality people with insane amounts of money see in art a very secure deposit of their assets. The world of art sales is unique in that regard, things never really lost value, and only increase, I really doubt they are actually fans of art, I cannot imagine an actual fan of say, Banksy, wasting thousands in one of his pieces, even Banksy himself feels flabbergasted about it.
There is a snobbish angle as well, to appear cultured some people decide to expend insane amounts in pieces of art they don't understand.
And at last, some art is not cheap to make, people feel shocked about an unknown artist selling a portrait for $1000, but the materials could easily actually cost that.
