"Valuable" Things... (???)
1. You call this art?
This photo of a 1982 acrylic and oil paintstick on linen painting 'Untitled (Boxer)' by the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, was released by Christie's auction house in New York, Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2008. The painting sold at auction in New York by Christies, Wednesday for $14 million, exceeding its pre-auction estimate of $12 million.
2. Don't be an ass!

I happen to like Basquiat's work. I know most people are not into his stuff but I do like the unusual and he was definitely that. It's a shame he died so young and tragically.
Ooppss... ok. Hope I didn't offend you.
His art is too abstract for me to appreciate. I do like abstract art, but not all.
No, I am not offended:) I have a very tough skin.
I'm not crazy about most abstract art either. I can see the boxer in that painting but I can't understand why someone would pay $14 million for it! I could find a lot of things to spend that much money on and none of those things have to do with putting art my walls. To each his own.
We all have a butt and each of us has a lovely butt. Those two aren't all that special if you ask me! Again, to each his own?
Aliens? I have trouble buying that! I think that's just art on the beach to make us all think!
