The world of expensive art is mostly a mystery to me; it's even more subjective than land and real estate, which is more arbitrary than many folks think. That is a very nice painting. Does it thrill you $11K worth? And would it resell for that or more later, or are you buying it for personal enjoyment and consumption? Recently I was looking for the right pieces to finish off a large bedroom wall. In the end, I skipped the expensive painting route and found a couple of photographic prints I really enjoyed looking at. Saved a bundle too. ;<) It's all subjective. FWIW, we had our Lexus in southern Africa for the first year and a half where we were mostly on two-lane country roads and speed limits were academic. It was the first time I found you could go into a sharp curve at 75mph and accelerate through and out of it, while the car sticks to the road like glue. That is a different level of engineering from the mid-rank cars.
