what's a spit take?

 20,000$ for a "sarkin"?  there should be some kind of
 artistic code
 of ehtics in place that says no one can sell ANY piece of art work for more
 than say 1000$,

Why?


 and no one can buy or sell art work by people that are no longer living.
 throwing
 that much money around for art just corrupts and trivializes everything
 about it.
 the whole thing just reeks of arbitrary hierarcy. i mean suggesting that 1
 artists life
 or work is monetarily more signifigant than other artists' life?.ok this
 is starting
 to sound like some kind of marxist aesthetic rant and i apologize but
 still...
 the whole thing is just comical at best. it would be more interesting if
 sarkin never
 had a stroke and the whole context was fraudulent.  i would like to suugest
 that
 artists should now only move about (fraudulently) in wheel chairs and wear
 aluminum
 foil on our heads in order to extract "the big bucks" from a sentimentally
 confused
 society.

Apparently, you are not a big fan of Chuck Close.

A spit take is when a comic responds to a surprise by spraying water, soup,
whatever's in his mouth, all over the place. Jerry Lewis was particualry
good at this.
