"I can't believe Alberto Giacometti did all those horrible elongated pinched statues of people, and then he also did my favorite sculpture of all time."
"You know, one of those statues just sold for a hundred million dollars. It's the most expensive sculpture of all time."
"That's awful," I said.
"Well, it means your favorite sculpture of all time probably just tripled in value."
"Great, now I'll never be able to buy it from the MoMA."
I guess I could make my own copy out of kebab skewers.
PS: I structured this entry like the weblog entries in my novel, because I was worried that the style would seem really unnatural in a real weblog. But I think it works okay.
Tue Feb 23 2010 08:57 The Palace At 40 Million Dollars:
Went to the MoMA yesterday with Peter Hodgson (high-quality photos coming soon). I was raving over The Palace at 4 A.M., official Crummy.com Sculpture Of The Millenium (1001-2000).
