Come on Down, The Price is Right!

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The bid of $75 is maybe the costs of materials. It's nowhere near the asking price...
Then the world has gone mad. So often this is the case with art. For the size, I would increase my guess to $195. Unless this piece is painted by someone of great credit, no person should pay more for it. If they do they are the victim of a sales conman.
The tag does not even mention the artist, just the gallery selling it.
Your guess is sensible. It is also miles away...

nice hue, but the apsara is missing
blue period, perhaps representing a breakup
or possibly a banksy-esque unfinished work, representing clear sky hope
or both?
I'll guess $2400

"I'll guess $2400..

Quick boy, run to the village and fetch me an easel, brush, paint and some canvas.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Let's see.

It's a too large canvas for someone painting blurry shades of depressing greens.

My guess is the painter is someone thinking that bigger is better, and has no clues about the various shades of greens someone can obtain by mixing it with yellow, instead of white only.

There is about 20$ tops of canvas, depending if bought on street 14 artshops or at the Bookcenter,
and 5$ max of green + white + brush.

I can think of better ideas to decorate a wall with 25 bucks. Also for better investments for the sake of speculating (like buying a bottle of wine).

After that, maybe the guy is brave enough to propose it at 50 $, who knows.

Free would be too expensive anyway. I would need a donation to take it.

Ah Ha ! It's an Absulute Emerald. I guess the typo makes the kick of it.
Well it's just a 2200 $ try costing 26 $ ( pricetag included.)

the price is in the signature, as someone posted
some art is intrinsic, most is social

Ha ha, I didn't spot the typo. What a bunch of idiots...

I'm taking up painting. My first pic is going to be of a glass of Anchor Smooth, on a bar top. I'm going to call it "Beer in the morning"

I reckon there is a niche for bad painting, like kids paintings, but done by adults.
