How about this painting of a Canadian lake in the fall?
Or maybe this early 19th century view of Niagara Falls.
One was sold for $75,000 and the other for $38,000.
Both will adorn some wealthy person's living room;scenes quintessentially Canadian.
But yesterday this Rothko painting sold for $75,000,000.
It will be hanging on the walls of a wealthy lunatic's home where other lunatics can come and "ooh" and "aah".
Such is the 21 st century society in which we live.
Jubilate.
