I had to pick that, but I understand totally what you must be thinking. It's sometimes absurd like Andy Warhol, or Dadaism. Art is art, whatever.
I have looked at some paintings or sculptures that fetch millions that have left me unsatisfied at the technical disappointment before my eyes. Abstract art, they tend to call it. Um, you mean Crayola water painting one rainy afternoon? Fine, fine. Actually, I have really found some kid art to be my favorite. Kid art is unspoiled, innocent, and truly original. But, if I'm going to pay millions, I am going to be like, where's the skill, I ask!?!?!?
Caravaggio, now that's some incredible talent! His paintings are dramatic with the shadow and light (Chiaroscuro -- technical term for this type of oil technique).

Here's a direct view of his paintings. This is at the San Luigi dei Francesi Church in Rome. Epic!

Bernini's sculptures in the Borghese Gallery. That is pure unrivaled skill there done way back in the 16th Century.
Please, take a look! Better than Michelangelo, yes.
Here's a look at Apollo & Daphne:

Aha, speaking of surprisingly surprise artists I didn't know were doing art that could very well fetch millions here's one...

If this guy in this video ever sells his art, it could probably net quite a following.... Go to 17:58 to see the paintings.

Sometimes those splashes of paint that you see netting millions of dollars probably are the result of egotistical public displays of boasting by obscenely rich people. I've actually seen this at thoroughbred yearling sales. Once a bidding war starts, sometimes these people loose their senses, and just keep upping the price. Human nature, lol.
Why the hell is splashes of paint worth millions?
