Amazing, to see the worth of such a piece as compared to the nudity of women, called art on display today in most gallery. Our culture was the best. |

I'm always skeptical of the art world since I got educated on how dirty monies are cleaned through them |

thornapple: It's a well organized scheme of money laundering and quick process of turning BLACK MONEY clean by the political elites and other cabals within a setting. |

GodDeyCraze: See my brother. Take one day and look around you and appreciate the how life is. Take a camera and go around your environment and take pictures. You can never understand arts until you relax and look around you. Thanks naptu2 for bringing up this information. |

Ayodejioak: What exactly are u trying to say dude? What do u mean by "no one knew when it was listed? By no one, I am sure u mean 'U', cos people knew, that's why there was an auction. Besides, the person who gets the money from the auction is the immediate owner of the artwork and not the artist. I am sure if u sell your Mercedes Benz today, u don't send the money to Daimler Chrysler. Picasso's works have been sold outside Italy; in New York and London. Besides, why should the painting be sold in Nigeria? Na u go buy am? Name one art collector in Nigeria. My point is this, you don't really have to comment on every post. |

Opoki: No kidding!! If Princess Tutu who was the subject of that painting is in her late 60s, how can her 3rd child be 76 years old? Or am I missing something? Tutu is believed to be alive and living in Lagos, the Guardian can reveal after speaking to a cousin of the princess, who is scouring the Nigerian megacity for the woman who has become a national legend. 1 Like |
