1. Yep, we definitely need to increase taxes on rich people.

2. Yep. That is the second story of that type of insanity I've seen today

Here’s the first: Invisible Sculpture for $18,000

4. The (con)artist's explanation of the nonexistent "sculpture" is some...

...master-level bullshittery.

For that price, shouldn't there at least be a marble base on which to display it?

6. OFFS!

That is sickening. Poseur 'artists' make me sick, as do art critics who treat nothingness like fine art. I took a lot of English lit classes back in college and I saw then that a lot of literary criticism is bullshit. But at least literary critics don't review non-existent books. I need to sell my invisible sculpture. For $18,000 I'll even throw in my TV.

8. It's art. It's just art that doesn't appeal to you. No comment on you, me or the sculptor.

11. please excuse me, but

I have a copy of that on my coffee table.....it elicits the most insightful comments among those that see it.

12. I think the payment should have been with an invisible check.

with a certificate of authenticity, of course.

7. +1 agree

3. Gee, I hope the purchaser gets to eat it before it goes bad... n/t

5. Should we feel sorry for or scornful of...

...people who are this stupid?

I wonder how many bidders participated in this insanity?

[marble falls]

9. Think of it as trickle down to poor artists. The real crime is when they give multi-million ...

... dollar pieces to museums for multi-million dollar tax credits. It's just another version of money laundering.
