> a multimillion pound artwork destroyed for £1,500 scrap value
I think a more apt comparison would be the retail value of the metal compared to the scrap value, since the "multimillion" is more of a subjective artistic value. Egregious nonetheless.
- pixl97 5mo agoEh, retail value of the metal doesn't include the hours in shaping it, transporting and mounting it. It's still hundreds of thousands in value versus $1500 scrap.
- CaptainZapp 5mo agoSure, art is subjective to some extent. But reducing the value of a Henry Moore piece to the value of the material is, well, not very insightful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Moore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Moore
