Yeah. 500 is different from 5000. One's got an extra zero.

Not sure I get this argument. Last time I checked, sculpture was considered art. Rehashed movie posters on the other hand...

Huh? Old show pollocks are skyrocketing if you can get someone to come off them, they just had a very successful show (much better than the galleryf one imo) that got lots of unseen stuff into the eyes and hands of fans. Pollock is doing better now than he has in years.

Truth. Even the value of the Astron print is spiking right now and that's been a straight line for years. Phish's legacy and Pollock's place in it hasn't been this respected and revered ever.

That is cool. He was super quiet for a few years there. One year I'm pretty sure he didnt do a single Phish show print.

me and soam dont do casts of scultures. its clutter from my perspective, but definitely still art. i'm just the kind of guy that would prefer displaying crystals.
the other guy is angry at, well, i really cant put my finger on it. nor do i think he has an argument. i think bottleneck put on the best pollock show to date this past nye run. he basically had Jim walk naked into his studio and lay it all out there.
