His artwork only serves as a medium to activate this imagination. Buddha In ContemplationĪs an artist, Salvatore Garau believes in the viewer’s imagination, claiming that this power exists in everyone. This particular statue was situated near the entrance of the Gallerie d’Italia in Milan, and his video showed the taped-off area where the artwork was said to be located. This sculpture is not the first of his creations to be immaterial, although it is the first to be sold for a considerable amount of money.Ī month ago, Garau took to Instagram to share another immaterial sculpture titled “Buddha in Contemplation.” These instructions specified that the sculpture was to be exhibited in the person’s home in a space with no obstructions and in a five-by-five dimension. The ‘owner’ of this sculpture was given a certificate as proof of authenticity and a set of instructions on how to display it. Hence, according to him, the statue has condensed energy that is ultimately transformed into us through particles.

Garau was met with much criticism for the work, but he remained firm in his belief about the existence of his artwork. The sculpture was up for auction last month at an Italian auction house called Art-Rite. T he 67-year-old artist expected to receive between 6,000-9,000 euros but ended up accepting bids worth 15,000 euros (approximately 13.36 lakhs). In addition to the bizarre fact that someone paid money for ‘nothing’, the sculpture received an even greater sum of money than expected. ![]() The artwork titled “Io Sono”, which translates to I am, took the internet by storm when it was revealed that this intangible work of art sold for actual money. In quite an unusual moment for artists worldwide, Salvatore Garau, an artist from Italy, has managed to make this a reality by selling his ‘invisible sculpture’ for a hefty sum of money at an Italian auction. But this bizarre idea is certainly not impossible! LOL The first thing I thought was well her other objects in reality must be average or this is a way to get THAT stuff known and say they own a piece from that girl who made a “splash” with “invisible art” interesting marketing tool.It’s not every day that one comes across news of an invisible sculpture that sold for thousands of euros at an auction. Since past art movements have convinced us a chair and a toilet is art she has taken it a step further and is really saying that, art is in YOUR mind….but we all know THAT and don’t need to buy it ,we posses it already you just have to draw it out of yourselves….so if someone is that ignorant to need to spend 35,000$ to do that… they really may need help in understand ART period. She has just taken it one step further and narrates HER “art” in YOUR mind. except it was with a tangible object.=.it is a WAY to make the observer “think” past what the object IS and find the talent, craftsmanship, process or just the “thought” of art is art and not the end product or the object itself. ![]() It has been done in the terms of “mind” art before. As one said, “If I wanted to imagine a piece of art I’d stare at my own wall.” To really try to understand this “type” of “art” her “style” is passé. Interesting acting, very good symbiotic sham. ![]()
