Lovers of fine art, I've got a hot tip for you: our president is the next Mark Rothko. That's right, you heard it here first. Think about it -- both men got their start in New York, both of their names are attached to fine dining restaurants (at least, Rothko's was supposed to be) and, for the pièce de résistance, both are boundary-pushing artists whose works of art defy classification.
You might be a bit confused, because the president, ever the modest man, doesn't often talk about his artistic endeavors. But Nate D. Sanders Auctions, purveyors of "fine autographs and memorabilia," have spilled the beans because the company is getting ready to auction of a D. Trump original.
For just $9,000, you can place the starting bid on an awe-inspiring sketch of the Big Apple's skyline, complete with the president's shiny gold John Hancock. The drawing plays with our perceived sense of depth, as Trump Tower (smack dab in the center) stands as tall as the surrounding buildings, despite the fact that it's only the 64th tallest building in the New York skyline. And don't even get me started on his refined use of color. Gold and white? Groundbreaking!
But while owning this sketch would add immense value to anyone's art collection, it got us thinking, what else can you buy for $9,000 that also honors our commander artist in chief? Here are just a few wonderful suggestions; vote your favorite to the top of the list!
