America has no respect for art. Europe does. This painting is lousy, the artist has little talent. This picture is not worth $65,000.00, and would be better marketed as a cheap $1 print sold at the swap meet. With all of the truely talented artists working in USA today, unrecognised, unsupported, uncared about, why would ABC do a story about this third rate "artist" and his lousy gimmicky painting. America only cares about celebrity, not about talent. How tacky. How sad.
