Don Thompson gets the grit out of a Campbell's soup can, the bite (bark) of a Jeff Koons, and chums
Published by J Ray , 3 years ago
The $12 Million Stuffed 🦈 written by Don Thompson will anger you, please you, and further your curiosity of the Contemporary Art World of Branding. Exceptional description with basic vocabulary designed to speak the complex sound of the auction hammer; 'sold!', and onto your next dynamic art adventure. If it's an artist, dealer, gallery space, or auction super power; Don Thompson gets the grit out of a Campbell's soup can, the bite (bark) of a Jeff Koons, and chums the water with more formaldehyde than the best Saatchi collection could hold. Buy this art; it's a collection of letters, words, and chapters in the form of a book. Then read it! 🖼️
