Tasteful Chaos Is Back, and It’s About Time

Last week’s auctions proved it. The herd mentality is dead. Magritte and Ruscha did their thing, whatever, but the real show was collectors going rogue. A $600K Christian Schad shattered expectations, while unsold Basquiats raised eyebrows.

It’s not just the big names. Phillips pulled $127K for Li Hei Di—proof that collectors are done playing safe. Niche is thriving.

Why it matters: For collectors, it’s open season on curating something that doesn’t scream, “I read one blog post.” For the market? Pure anarchy. Standout lots soar, middle-tier crap flops. No narrative, no sales.

The moral: The next flex isn’t what you own. It’s why you own it. Skip the trends, skip the noise. Taste beats hype every time.

P.S. TikTok trends die in days. Personal taste just flipped a $600K Schad to over $3M. Do the math.

Wall Street Can’t Hold a Note Like This

Streaming platforms pay billions in royalties.

JKBX (pronounced “Jukebox”) opens the door to invest in royalty shares of iconic songs, earning quarterly distributions tied to their performance.

This isn’t about fanfare—it’s about diversification. Music royalties offer a potential income stream tied to one thing people never stop doing: pressing play.

-Today’s Catch-

ErrĂł (Gudmundur Gudmundsson)

ErrĂł, Part of the cace, 2014

💭 My 2 Cents: Erró is in his bag here. This piece is absolute narrative figuration masterclass—satirical, surreal, and razor-sharp. The machine-like figures chopping up the pink "Erró" meat? Consumerism, power structures, exploitation. Loud, and dripping with his signature pop aesthetic. This isn’t just art—it’s a mic drop.

🔑 Key Numbers: Erró’s market is... curious. 68% sell-through rate, $9,487 average price. Pretty accessible compared to his ‘60s narrative figuration peers. But his 1960s-70s works pull a 65% premium over newer ones. This 2014 piece itting in the lower bracket for now. But the subject—consumerism, exploitation—those are forever relevant. Timeless themes + cultural reckoning = value surge potential. Oh, and oil on canvas? Already packing a 49% premium over works on paper.

🧠 Why It’s a Smart Pick: Erró does what few can—turns societal chaos into a visual spectacle. Museums like MoMA and Pompidou don’t collect his work for nothing. It’s thought-provoking, confrontational, evergreen. This is a conversation starter and maybe even a stealth purchase for someone savvy enough to clock how relevant this kind of critique is right now.
