Let me know. I'm at an loper on twitter and insto graham, or you can send me an email, nick at side hustle nation dot com, or leave a comment in the show notes for this episode at side hustle nation dot com. Slash four 72 in june, italian artist salvatore garrau, sold one of his works for 18 thousand, 300 dollars. For any artist, that's a nice sale. But what made salvatore's sale interesting is that the eo sono sculpture, italian for im was invisible. And that makes number seven on this list the invisible statue, the invisible sculpture. While the artist preferred the term immaterial to the word invisible, the work was a five foot by five foot empty square. The artwright auction house in milan handled the sale, which apparently received multiple bids. And according to jahu news, the name of the buyer had not been publicly released, but was thought to be an art collector from milan. Now, on the surface, sounds pretty crazy, right? Who's going to spend 18 grand on nothing? But is it really that much different from the nft craze we've seen this year? I saw a funny tweet that ws something like, hagis, i need to confess to a multi billion dollar art heist. Turns out there's this little known hack called right click say has. I think salvatory definitely wins points for his creativity and maybe even audacity here, who, to his credit, has maintained a straight face through all the jokes, all the press. But the take away for me, whether for physical art, even the invisible kind, or the digital nft variety, there's a pride of ownership in collecting original works. Do baseball cards, or bit coin, or beany babies, or even dollars for that matter, do they have any inherent value? Like any collectable asset, they're really only worth what you can get for it, what you can trade it for, what the market thinks it's worth. So if you're creator, i think it's time to study up on whos buying nfts and mabe how you can tap into that collector piece of human psychology. Wel try to do an nft episode coming up next month.
