Artist sells invisible art that only exists in his mind

Italian artist sells invisible sculpture for $18,000 that only exists in his mind

The sculpture is titled "Io Sono" or "I Am" in English, but it really isn't anything. Unlike the great I Am, it neither currently exists, nor has it existed in eternity past or future. The invisible sculpture "I Am" exists "in the mind of its creator," artist Salvatore Garau, only.

Nevertheless, the "art" was sold for $18,000 and the buyer was given a certificate and a receipt.

Modern art = scam

This artist is an audacious butthead on so many levels.

I've always thought that. Being an artist/designer, I've always hated modern art ever since Duchamp's Fountain piece (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)). The saying "everything is/anything can be" art is total crap.

Then again, art is supposed to imitate life, right? So this minimal effort (or scams as in Garau's case) is fairly reflective of people now-a-days.
