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.
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.”
