This is not uncommon in art history. Look at this case: Tate Gallery in London, England recently bought the most controversial Italian art at Sotheby's for 22,300 pounds: a sealed can filled with manzoni's excrement, named "Can 004". Manzoni I made a pioneering effort in 196 1, and put my excrement into 90 cans, each with 30g. Manzoni I, who died young at the age of 29, explained that whoever really wants an artist's work should get what really belongs to the artist. He wants to reveal how easily the public who buy art can be deceived. At present, the French Pompidou Art Center and the new york Modern Museum have collected manzoni's cans.
Manzoni's friend revealed that the story of "turning excrement into gold" turned out to be a big joke. The "excrement" that manzoni put into the jar is actually just plaster! Manzoni only wants to expose the blind obedience of collectors.
196 1 year, manzoni claimed to put his excrement in a jar and seal it, threatening that the highest state of art collection was to possess the artist's excrement, which induced collectors to snap up and speculate wildly. Manzoni died of alcoholism and drug abuse at the age of 30. His 90 cans of "feces" were not only hyped, but also became famous. New york Museum of Modern Art, Pompidou Museum and Tate Gallery in London, England all have one. No. 18, The Artist's Excrement, was sold at the Milan auction last month for S $260,000.
Manzoni's good friend Bonalumi said, "There is no excrement in it, just plaster. Anyone who wants to prove it can open a can and have a look. " Although it's only plaster, Tate Gallery says it's a work of art, which makes the audience have suspense.
