Nothingness in Words, Enclosed By James Reed

An Italian “artist,” has made some big money from sculptures which do not exist, this being some sort of existential presentation. I believe “artist” John Cage (1912-1992) had a musical piece of sheer silence called 4’ 33”, and Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) aimed for minimalism in drama, with one play, Breath, (1969), being only about 35 seconds long! At this point all art has self-deconstructed. Time to bury it, if there is anything left to bury!

“An Italian Artist Auctioned Off an ‘Invisible Sculpture’ for $18,300. It’s Made Literally of Nothing

“It is a work that asks you to activate the power of the imagination,” Salvatore Garau said of his sculpture.

From the department of “They sold that for how much?!” comes today’s story, about an Italian artist who, for the cool price of €15,000 ($18,300), recently auctioned an artwork that is… well, nothing. 

Last month, the 67-year-old artist Salvatore Garau sold an “immaterial sculpture”—which is to say that it doesn’t exist.  

It is a perfect metaphor of the nothingness of present woke culture, indeed! And, should not the money paid for these nothing works, be exactly … zero! How could Mr Nothingness argue with that!
