Lola June, a 2-year-old who is literally still in diapers, is taking the New York art world by storm as she sells her paintings for hundreds and thousands of dollars to wealthy collectors.

More than 12 of Lola’s acrylic paintings have been snapped up for up to $1,600, says her proud mum:

It’s an honour to be her parent.

She teaches me to be a better human.

Celebrity dermatologist Dr. David Colbert recently purchased two after spotting them in the Chashama gallery window:

I was walking down the street and I looked in the window and thought ‘These pieces are really great’, … before purchasing two pieces for $600 and $250.

I thought her work was from the heart. I watched her smile when she was painting. I thought ‘This has got a little dash of Jackson Pollock and a dash of Cy Twombly’,

I mean that just sounds pretentious AF, doesn’t it?

About a third of Lola’s art collection has been sold, with the rest priced from $400 to as much as $23,000. Here are some examples:

At first this story annoyed me. I mean we know the modern art world is an absolute joke, but how much of a mug do you have to be to spend thousands of dollars on a 2-year-old’s paintings?

But then I thought – good for Lola June. Why not hustle these smug, self-important, pretentious art wankers for everything they’ve got? If Lola June can convince these people to purchase her art work for $23,000 at the age of 2, just imagine how much she’ll be selling them for when she learns how to actually paint. She’s 2 years old and pretty much set for life if she keeps this up – awesome. 

Almost as good a hustle as the basic blue canvas that sold for $46.5 million at Sotheby’s. Jesus.
