Art investment advice from Felix Salmon, via Marginal Revolution.
Money quote:
Recently Cady Noland had a piece at auction. It went for $US6.6 million. It had seven spots on it. We’re approaching that psychologically important one-million-dollars-per-spot level.
Eclectic as the Stripes were, that is
probably the only song they have in common with the Incredible String Band. Below
is a late version from the ISB in 2003 which is no match for the one on their 1970 album I Looked Up, but
on YouTube we take what we get and are grateful. The song itself is very old, a
Border ballad probably from the early 18th century, and every version is
different, which is what you get with real folk music. I can’t quickly find a
good source of info online that isn’t Wikipedia but apparently Nick Tosches is
very sound in his Country: The Twisted
Roots of Rock ’n’ Roll.
