That's a fun thought experiment.

I'd hang it for 35k.   In the bathroom, or somewhere out of the way    And for not too long; a couple months say.    If I had to look at it everyday for the rest of my life in a prominent place in my home then yeah I'm with you, life's too short to accept 35k to have to look at that.  

Not sure this really has anything to do with comic art or being uneducated on it though?    Except to the extent that the buyer seems to have been a comics person rather than a fine art person.

A closet or garage would also be acceptable. 

You know, I bet this buyer picked it up for the artist’s name or because they lean towards pop culture/fine art, opposed to someone wanting to enter original comic art. 

Should’ve bought half a Capullo.

Wow. Imagine what a 'Tec 27 painting would sell for.

The article mentioned it was a collector of batman material that bought the painting.   The implication seemed to be that they weren't a fine art collector.

That certainly sounds right.

Now that makes sense...as long as it was a similar quality waste of 35k. 'Hey, Joe...know that thing with the orange slices you did? I've got an idea...'.   Certainly it couldn't have had anything to do with 'establishing' a market or price point.

People really are uneducated about original comic art  

That's why we gotta go out there and educate 'em!
