Does This Look Like Art to You?





I enjoyed the afternoon art auctions on the cruise. Is cruise art a good buy? That's a highly controversial question. Guess it's who you ask.




Sports memorabilia was a big category at the auctions. Mostly photos. Creatively framed. Pricey.


Who buys this stuff? Dave said the big color photo of a guy by the name of Derek Jeter would sell. It did.



But this whimsically framed picture of The Rat Pack playing pool?


Come on! I liken it to "Dogs Playing Poker." It may be fun but is it art?


Is it a sport?


Yes, it sold for several hundred dollars.
