| Alexander Isak or Jackson Pollock on 12:57 - May 19 with 712 views | MattinLondon | Isak broke his leg in January so a tad harsh to judge him on value for this season. As for Pollock - I don’t particularly understand his art but my ignorance is my issue. Maybe someone better informed will be able to say why his art is so valued. |  | |  |
| Alexander Isak or Jackson Pollock on 12:59 - May 19 with 694 views | urbanpenguin | I don't know what you mean, "waste of money". If I had that sort of money going spare (spoiler, I don't) I would invest in the Pollock as a useful vehicle to store my wealth, and I'd also pop it up in my living room once I'd updated the burgler alarm. I would not be that interested in buying Alexander Isak as I am not sure what I'd do with him to be honest, and I suspect his resale value will be less than the Pollock when I get to retirement age. |  | |  |

But are you assuming that Pollock’s art will stay in fashion and valued? I’m absolutely no expert but there must be a chance that his art will devalue with time. |  | |  |

I mean, in what world is either worth £135m. (This world, obviously - but I mean compared to how else that money could be spent.) |  |

We have a little art in the house. Nothing of much value, but a few originals from unknown local artists. At one stage we considered stretching ourselves and buying/investing in a painting from an artist we had heard of. Rolf Harris. Very glad we didn’t. |  | |  |

Someone, somewhere will have - maybe they also got a signed LP from Gary Glitter? |  |

Mate's sister married a multi-millionaire He had a big swanky house and the walls were festooned in original priceless modern artworks Every room was pitch black, the thick heavy curtains were always drawn and each picture had its own heavy fabric curtain over it..... all to sheild the art from light that might degrade the paint and therefore diminish the value of the pictures My mate said it was weird, creepy and horrible.... he only visited the once Imagine owning something so valuable that you couldn't even look at it You would be better off with a repro of a Constable A Cart in a Ditch That's proper art |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I am sure that Pollock's art will not lose value, yeah. |  | |  |

Well said, and I completely agree it would be better spent on 385,714,285 Freddos (with some change to spare!) |  |

I was in a gallery in Stratford upon Avon, saw a Rolf, missus was pondering. it was a London Embankment in the rain job. We didn't, and about a month later.... Queastion, would it have gone up in value, wrong, but that the art world. |  | |  |

No. They fell significantly in price. Despite his comical reputation built up from his tv work he was a serious artist. Prices obviously inflated by his fame |  | |  |

I doubt you'd be able to hang Isak on your wall either! Pollock is by far the best longer term investment. If you have pockets the size of Texas to start with! |  | |  |

Rolf Harris would would not have gone up in value, regardless of his noncing around. |  | |  |
| Alexander Isak or Jackson Pollock on 19:36 - May 19 with 100 views | RadioOrwell | There are justifiable reason for describing Pollock as a very significant figure. His work will stand scrutiny and be well regarded for centuries. And there's football as well. |  | |  |
