anything can be a work of art, even nothing.
Italian artist Salvatore Garau recently auctioned an invisible sculpture for 15,000 euros ($18,300). According to as.com, the sculpture's initial price was set between 6,000 and 9,000 euros; however, the price was raised after several bids were placed.
Titled 'Io Sono' (Italian for "I am"), the 67-year-old artist's sculpture is "immaterial," meaning that the sculpture does not actually exist.

Though he's received much critique for the sale, Garau argues that his work of art isn't "nothing," but is instead a "vacuum."

The art world is rife with money laundering.
It appears they aren't even hiding it anymore.

Money laundering has hit an all time low.

Would’ve been more revolutionary if purchased with crypto.
Invisible money used to buy invisible product.

Sounds like this is much ado about nothing.

I can't imagine how long it took him to create that.

So the guy who bought should get it insured and then claim it was stolen. Profit.

I’ll pay $18k to never have to click on a Newsweek mobile link.

Wouldn't it have to appraise for north of $18k for there to be any profit? Are there appraisers who specialize in non-existent works of art?
