[QUOTE="Kugar, post: 632793, member: 442"] I always thought that if my response to art was "How much does it cost?" then I don't appreciate it enough to own it. The stuff I do love and own the price was either cheap or my reaction was "How can I get the money to get it." There have been plenty of times I said to my self "Well, if it was half the price I'd buy it" but I knew I still probably wouldn't. As I grow older, I buy more expensive art, because my taste changed. Mostly because I have experienced and can tell quality and originality, and know what I like enough to feel comfortable buying it. So when someone complains about how much something original cost I usually think they are comparing it to the cool poster they just picked up for 5 at Suncoast and not appreciating it for what it is. I think it is a matter of perspective. That's enough rambling for me. Kugar [/QUOTE]
