“Artist” Selling Nonexistent Sculpture for $18k is Another Blow to the Concept of Merit
Pop culture is already dominated by talentlessness — must we put so high a price tag on it?
Once again, The Arts lay raped and unconscious at our feet, blood oozing out from its every orifice, brutalized by a pompous fuckwit who thinks being confusing is all it takes to become a successful artist.
And the worst part is, he’s right.
The fuckwit, er, “artist” in question is Salvatore Garau, from Italy, who recently auctioned an invisible sculpture for 15,000 euros (about $18,300 in U.S. bucks). The “sculpture”’s price was originally set between 6,000 and 9,000 euros, but was raised when a rash of shop-till-you-drop lunacy broke out among a group of shit-brained aristocrats competing for the most expensive way to flush their money down the crapper. Check out the full story at Newsweek here.
Of course, the winning bidder hasn’t been named anywhere, probably because they’ve joined the witness protection program to escape global ridicule. I wish them infinite nights of shameful and bitter sleep, their dreams haunted and forcefully fucked by the angry and bleeding Muse.
