Being written by Allyssua Alleyne, we get a better view of the topic with is specialized background of the subject matter. In this article we hear about a Pablo Picasso painting that was sold for $45 million in New York. This piece called "Femme assise, robe bleu" was confiscated by Nazis from and Jewish art dealer. It was then sent to Paris for storage where it was found and later auctioned. Pablo Picasso has the record for the highest sold piece at $179 million in 2004. I think that is crazy and awesome that the art sells for that much. It is also kind of sad that the artwork is not worth that much until the artist dies. This makes it hard for visual artists to make and living when they struggle to make very much money off of their artwork alone. Before reading this article I heard about a new form of 3D printing where people can now print paintings. I think that once this become more of a think it will either make the people who actually put work in for the art more valuable or make it even harder for them to sell artwork due to the cost efficiency of 3D printing work.
