Art is always an investment when you have the capital to play at the level this piece is apparently at. If the new owner wants to sell it in 5 years they're going to get at least the $105 million they paid for it so it's really just a means of storing your money in a medium that you find visually appealing.

The only debate is whether it's actually visually appealing. To my eyes it's not, but it's not my $105 million on the table so my opinion on it's aesthetics really doesn't mean much.
