Could you be able to tell apart high art from an IKEA painting?

Life Hunters, the team behind the YouTube channel that pulls pranks on innocent “experts” of things, installed an IKEA painting from the Street Art Collection of IKEA, inside a museum, and asked art experts to value it.

The clueless museum visitors are asked to look at a painting in the gallery, created by the “famous artist” IKE Andrews. Their comments vary from praises to the artist’s skills to psychoanalysis of his mentality. The painting that actually costs 10 euro is estimated by the experts to even 2.5 million euros.

Life Hunters, are famous for their sense of humor and the well-thought pranks they pull. Their most successful one so far, is when they served McDonald’s food to dining experts.
