OK let's think in terms of "masters" Confente as Van Gogh and Mr. Sachs as Eric Fischl or Henry Moore. Sure anybody can buy a MFA project or "limited" print or they can buy a Canonndale. We're talking about the top 0.1% of "artists." By those standards the Confente is cheap, but I don't want to see the people that have made 5th state Rembrandt print cost $2000+, make ANY Masi cost $10,000. I never want to see the name become more important than the item. Maybe it's the fact that I'm looking at another 50 years of collecting so my view is quite long. I'm scared for the future of "lightweight" collecting. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives
