    What a disgusting display of money wasting this is.

    All the people who could benefit from that money, and this smirking little shit wastes it on something I wouldn't hang in a dollar slice pizzeria.

    Gross.

    Spare me the "it's his money" nonsense. Yeah, and I have a right to say he spent an obscene amount of money which could've went to much more worthwhile things.

    Bought by a Japanese billionaire, to be put on public display in a museum he is building.

    Damn, wish I had thought to go over to his studio on the Bowery and spend a couple of thousand bucks back in the early 1980s, I could cash out today and buy lovely old buildings to prevent them from being torn down!

    I think Basquiat is overrated.

    @Gojira: That makes two of us.

    @10:15am: You could be right, but something is "worth" whatever someone will pay for it, thus this painting is "worth" $110 million.

    To all the commmenters:

    I wish I had bought.....20/20 hindsight. Doesn't make you smarter.
    It deserves to be in a museum......no it doesn't.
    He spent a lot of money that could have been used for.......talk to your government about that problem first
    It will hang in a public place.....hope the kids don't get scared and have nightmares.
    Basquiat is overated....glad to see there is still some sanity out there.

    And my personal opinion...yech.

    These paintings belong in the Museum of Not Art.
