Self-Auctioning Art

actually, I think the Artist might be amused by Alex's twist - transforming the "art" from object to concept playing with the whole notion of conceptual art- I know I would.

Of course, you could do the same thing by buying a traditional artwork and painting over it, or destroying it.

Only less rude since it wouldn't involve wiping out anything that took real work to create. Everything would remain in tact, ready to be plugged right back in.

Hmmm - So I guess it would be like buying a work of art and storing it in a closet. The object remains intact, but is no longer acting as art.
