Painting as investments

There are insitutions who invest in paintings like stocks.  They say the "deader" a painter is the more valuable his work becomes! 

Perhaps there is someone who can share his thoughts on this?  Maybe some more information on valuation and return periods for such works?

I'm posting the pictures of the murals recently conducted by the Pasay City Host Lions Club at their club house at Lions Road.  Yes, your eyes haven't betrayed you.  It's really called Lions Road.  That's how far public service can get you! 

The picture is the champion for this event.  The team receives 50k pesos cash prize.   The event will be reported on ABS-CBN's TV patrol tomorrow September 29 630pm.
