I can't say I have ever liked Lowry's pictures. No doubt when I am dead my artwork will sell for trillions!

I could never understand why any artwork is worth millions. Except for investments ,its just a picture on a piece of cloth.

Sometimes it's easy to put a "Price" on a canvas!

I quite like Lowry: but a painting is only worth what somebody will pay for it...

I think if you could watch the film it would give you a much better feel for the complete man and his domineering mother played by ?Vanessa Redgrave - I lived reasonable close to Salford so it does something to my memory banks and emotions??

Mrs Lowry and son!!

I buy my wall artwork at the dollar stores. It doesn't wreck my bank account. If I had millions in the bank, I wouldn't waste it on drugs, alcohol, or paintings.

As Davey Jones said when "art" sells for $millions, it's for investment. It must be "good", if it cost millions. And it's "great", when it's resold for a lot more $millions.
