1. This article makes it sound these works were all priced the same.

If somebody wants to buy a chimp painting from 1957 for $26k as a novelty thats fine with me. But don't make it seem someone who appreciates art would buy this instead of a Renoir.

2. Really! I get so tired of this crap -- the conservative mentality

that demeans any art that doesn't look like Norman Rockwell or another illustrator created it.
