Artwork that made me speechless!

Modern Art

I visit a lot of websites with beautiful art made by talented artists.

However, what makes me go speechless is Modern Art.

I understand art is subjective and I should not be judgemental about it.

But please take a look at these artworks that were sold for millions:

  1. Onement Vi By Barnett Newman: $ 43,800,000

2. Blood Red Mirror by Gerhard Richter: $ 1,000,000

3. Orange, Red, Yellow by Mark Rothko: $ 86,882,000

4. Woman III by Willem de Kooning: $ 137,500,000

5. No. 5 by Jackson Pollock : $ 140,000,000

6. Peinture (Le Chien) by Joan Miro: $ 2,210,500

7. Concetto spaziale, Attese by Lucio Fontana : $ 29,173,000

8. Interchanged by Willem de Kooning: $ 300,000,000

9. White Fire I by Barnett Newman: $ 84,000,000

10. Untitled by Cy Twombly: $ 70,500,000

I am speechless!

I bail on a lot of shows after the first few seasons, or even episodes. Some (like the 90s version of La Femme Nikita, the last arc for the Battlestar Galactica remake, Revenge, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Defiance) went some places cool and surprising right before the end. A lot more just pancake on the pavement. Here are some major disappointments over the years. Sherlock: They were building up Mary over the two leads. No, they were fridging her to motivate the main bromance. Make up your minds, Gatiss and Moffat. Plus, what semblance of mystery procedural from the original source material the show bothered to have left got scrambled like a mess of eggs in the final season. Torchwood: Torchwood had potential, but never really found its sea legs. Then it killed off most of its cast (except for Jack and th

John Ameh and Olalekan Adetayo President Muhammadu Buhari will today (Wednesday) present the 2017 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly. The document will be the second one to be presented by the President after his inauguration in May 2015. Buhari, who will be accompanied by top government officials, is expected to present the document at 10am. The Federal Executive Council had on November 30 approved the document for presentation to the National Assembly. Speaking to State House correspondents at the end of the council’s meeting, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, refused to give details of the budget proposal as approved by the council. He said it was only the President who would unveil the document on the floor of the National Assembly. “The 2017 budget has been approved by the Federal Executive Council and the details will be revealed when the President presents the budget to the National Assembly,” Udoma said.
