Artist's Shit

In May 1961 Manzoni created 90 small cans, sealed with the text Artist's Shit (Merda d'Artista). Each 30-gram can was priced by weight based on the current value of gold (around $1.12 a gram in 1960). The contents of the cans remain a much-disputed enigma, since opening them would destroy the value of the artwork. Various theories have been proposed, including plaster. In the following years, the cans have spread to various art collections all over the world and netted large prices, far outstripping inflation. The most recent can to be auctioned, #19, sold on 26 February 2007 in the USA for $80,000. It was described as:

'It is a joke, a parody of the art market, and a critique of consumerism and the waste it generates.' Stephen Bury

ora... $80.000. Nesse dia o Euro valia US $1,316, contas feitas dá qq coisa do género 60.790€ ... por 30 gramas de merda...
