Man that is SO much better, I would have paid that much too!Originally Posted by OkayKK
His pictures are nice, but this is the plainest I've seen of his work. The picture the op posted is bland though. Here is the sold picture which I think is nice but still od for what it sold.

As someone who has studied Gursky's work, his work is definitely not something that "any donkey with a dslr, tripod, and photoshop" can do. I'm not even the biggest fan of Gursky's but it's ridiculous that so many people can pass judgement on his work WITHOUT having seen the actual thing. You guys are somehow able to decide that his work is or isn't that great by looking at an image that is 1/100th the size of the actual work. To say that Gursky doesn't dedicate time and effort into his work and that he doesn't understand lighting techniques or framing is just complete nonsense.

Compared to some of his past pictures, that is plain which is probably why it went as high it did. Plus it's a Gursky so his fans/admirers will pay top notch money.
This is one of my favorites

this is why art is a joke and andy warhol can make things like campbells soup and people call it art and praise it.
you can say aesthetics, color , and %%%#*#+% about anything.
The Niketalk banner is so symmetrical the way the red clashes and creates a whirl of expression at the center and heart of the banner is astonishing. the pureness express of the white placed over the dark black drop creates this contrast and inner battle of expression through the piece.

i actually love philosophy and took a course on the meaning of art. and not that my opinion is the end all statement but literally anything can be art which is stupid.
i can take a %!%% on the floor and photograph it.
is it art because i intentionally created it to be art or simply because aesthetics say so.
you got people paying millions for a childrens splashing of paint on a surface +#+*+.
and in case you couldn't tell i simply made up random nonsense, if you want i could go more in depth with a post that completely refutes my previously descriptions

It is not simply aesthetics. Aesthetics is design, not art.
In order for something to be art, there has to be a concept behind it otherwise it is simply a craft. Taking a photograph is not art. Taking a photograph is recording a moment using a camera. It's when you take a photograph with a purpose and are able to articulate that purpose that it is art. Taking a photograph is no different than sewing a thread or putting a brush to a surface. A snapshot is not a work of art nor is a patch on a pair of jeans. Someone painting their house isn't art. A Gursky image of symmetry and architecture is art. A Michael Wolf image of urban crowding is art. An Alexander McQueen couture dress is art. A Rothko is art.
There are thousands of technically proficient painters in China that make a living off of counterfeiting masterpieces. Is what they are doing art? I'd argue against it since all they are doing is reproducing something that already was. Without a concept, everything else is just craft.

Colors do have meaning. Placement does have significance.

Value is subjective. Only a fool would think otherwise, and ridicule another for what they hold to be valuable.
