  1. I believe that each one of those pieces of art are so valuable and that they worth millions of dollars. I think that there is people that would pay millions of dollars just to have one of those paintings in their living room because of the history of the painting and the author.

  2. This article talk about an art theft in the Netherlands. The theft stolen a lot of peaces, and it is the biggest art theft in the Netherlands since 1991. In my opinion, single pieces of art could be worth millions of dollars. When I was young, I thought it doesn't make sense to set the price for just one piece of art. However, after I went to art museum in Korea, my mind was changed. It was really impressed how great the arts are, and the artist does not live anymore. Therefore, I think some arts are really valuable.

  3. I agree that single pieces of art should be worth this much money because it represents the talent of a person who has an extraordinary quality to create real "art". Only some people has these kind of abilities. For that reason I considered that their creation should be recognized and well paid.

  4. Priceless and famous paintings were stolen from a museum in Rotterdam in Nederland. The thieves planned well everything; however, it is impossible to sell them because they are already announced as stolen. I don't undertand why thieves stole those pictures. They can't make money with them. Even it is not safe to hang them on a wall in their home. I want to know the reasons why this famous paintings are stolen.

  5. Of course that single pieces of art should not be worth this much money, actually it is not only a art work, it is a kind of the securities, rich people buy and sell them, they don't care about the so-called art, just because these art could show their wealth and they can earn money from them. Those rich people give the art price so the art became so expensive.

  6. This article is about a sad event occurred in Rotterdam. Many art works were stole from the Kunsthal Museum.
    As far as I’m concern, these art piece can worth million of dollars because were maid for famous artists. Even tough there are many people that can’t understand why these pictures can worth a lot of money. I have visited many museums in Europe, and I have seen some of the most famous works of Picasso and Matisse, so that I can affirm that these art works were created for people who had extraordinary skills and gifts.

  8. This article talked about Dutch Museum lose some art works. It is so surprising that the safety is not safe enough for the museum. I am very want to know who is the person. Maybe from the stuff of the Museum itself.
    In my opinion, it is fine single pieces of art worth million dollars. Every area has its own standard for the price.It depends on who is interested in and who can afford it.

  9. I believe those pictures should be worth much money because those pictures mean more than art. However, if they don't worthy at all, they will not been stolen for many times. It is really hard to say it is a good thing or not that those pictures are valuable.

  10. I think that single pieces of art should be worth this much money because it is only one. Pictures are culture and history. It can not copy like the same. Music and literature can copy but paintings cannot copy like the same. That is why it is important to keep them.
