RE: The Old Dog Thinks: You'll Loose Your Head Over This Sculpture!

One of these landed on the front lawn of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The $1M price tag seemed a bit bloated. I didn't know there were 12 of them! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that article. I wasn't able to find the total number of them either but it seems, as you write that it is 12.

$1M is a lot but keep in mind that the bronze alone comes in at around 120 per kilo and so that's around $100,000 just in material. Then there is the artists work, the foundry costs, the shipping etc.. $1M isn't what it used it be. Heck, with the new SMT announcement I might even become a Steemit millionaire! :)
