    not sure what was the starting price. He says on the interview that he will release this week a new "CITI Burning" painting and will price it at 2 ounces of silver.

    Amazing how fast can someone become famous....

    Chase Burning started at $920 (half an ounce of gold)

    The Bank of America painting started at two ounces of silver $85?


    I don't know art, but I know what I like.


    Can you still make art purchases through SMSF? :)

    I think it is interesting that he is drawing parallels between his work and Vincent van Gogh.

    He is a born salesman! :)

    "I'm going to be setting the auction starting bid at the cost of just a half an ounce of gold in today's prices, or $920. "

    oops just noticed aleks beat me to mention lol


    I like it - both the painting and the statement it makes.

    It's currently at $10,300 USD which tells me there are maybe a few people out there who think gold is worth more than $1820 :)

    I heard about this piece of art.
    I looked for it on ebay the other day and couldn't find it.
    Thanks for locating it!

    Unknown artist, well known (relatively) painting.

    Not a fan, the building looks well rendered but the flames look a bit odd, still, what would I know, the art world has spoken, I wonder if it was bought by a member of the bank and whether we will ever see or hear of it again.

    Hmmmm won by someone who has (0) feedback and has never bid on anything before, I suspect shenanigans and sabotage

    Next he'll paint Goldman Sachs burning, and then HSBC, then Citibank, and then... start cashing in $25,000 on each painting.
