Because bronze really isnt worth that much these days. Not 65 Million anyway.

I have a life size, sculpted steel, and polished chrome mk1 escort if anyone wants to offer me £65 million for it....Tell you what, i will do a deal, for the bargain price of just £1 million, its yours.....I will even fill the tank up for you.....

What stupid t****r would pay that for a shitty piece of bronze..? FFS, some people really get on ya tits.....

Ah, what price art eh?

 

It's not the bronze that fetched the money, it's the work of the sculptor that made it.

Obviously. But. He could of had a full scale exact replica made for about £20k

 

It's bragging rights on a silly scale.

 

"Oh you know that really expensive shit bit of art... Yeah, I own it. Yeah baby... "

Yes that's a very good point. £2k on a rusty escort or...

 

Sixy Five MILLION on a bronze statue

 

Yeah you're right, the escort looks like a total waste of money. Yeah. Uhuh.

dude i couldnt agree more. what a load of blx

[Retro-gone.]

i was polishing my bronze statue last night

[stevie]

Makes you wonder how much money these people actually have in the bank if they can waste 65 million on a chunk of metal.

I still maintain people with money have no tatse.

[jpayne]

I bet the escort wont hold its value like the sculpture, nor last as long. Have to have money to make money and it will probably prove to be a great investment...as with any investment...assuming it wasnt bought for too much to start with.

The previous owner was hoping for 18 million, would guess they paid less than that so probably worked for them as a great purchase...Good luck to them
