"Psychedelic Jesus"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's probably the most modern Jesus in my collection. It is a real painting. I'm not saying it's a very good one but it is real.
The price is just ridiculous. This is the reason why he is in the collection. I decided to go for it and place the minimum bid on the ebay auction: 1,- Euro. And I won. And they sent it. I mean, 1 Euro! The paint and canvas is more expensive than that!
How could that have been auctioned at that price? It came well and professionally packed from a gallery, including a certificate guaranteeing the originality of the painting.
Gerd, who chose this as his favourite Jesus called it "Barry White". Yeah. Could be. He definitely looks like the kind of Jesus one would expect from a semi-hippie sect that flourished between 1965 and 1969.
I don't know what happened to his hand and what the stuff on the left is, though.
