Sergio Furnari said he thought the lifesize sculpture – which no one commissioned – would raise ‘millions’ of dollars
To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.
“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.
There is no way that this thing consumed material worth $100k. It’s a steel wire frame with an outer shell coated in resin, and spray painted.
This grifter is trying to leverage the coverage and hopes to raise some money by artificially inflating the price beforehand so that piece of crap is deemed to be worth anything.
He said the cost is for steel, resin and labor. Two of those are cheap.
In other words the $100k is expected profit from his time spent working on it.
“I value my time at 20k an hour. This took all afternoon.”
It was $1000 for the materials and the rest was the hospital bill for the broken foot
