Imagine, paying 52 million bucks for a vertical blue line on a canvas. When the auctioneer, who suspiciously never really care to do background checks beyond the simple stuff, finds that the buyer is an offshore trust fund - they are more than happy to sell the painting and extract ridiculous fees because the trustee won't care. The trust is a laundering device for whole countries created by the English to aid capital flight. 52 million is but a drop in the ocean.
So no. Its not modern art. It's money laundering.
