I actually don't completely hate it. Its not particularly great, but not the worst thing either - especially when you consider artists were to stick to the theme of "Christmas Eve" and needed to include a particular letter of the alphabet.
Furthermore, consider this...
I'm sure the publicity throughout Russia and the world that this gallery owner received is worth the ยฃ750,000 price tag - so there's your premium.
If just one or two wealthy Russian industrialists become clients as a result of this, the investment pays for itself. Frankly, probably several thousand people will eventually walk into her gallery to take a peak at the Putin piece.
Personally, cost aside, I'd stick this on my wall just for the fact its a discussion piece and its interesting to ponder Putin's artistic choices - which do seem distinctly Russian.
