The Work

The art market has a price for everything. BAI UEIT applies these prices honestly — which is the first obscenity. Artists valued by weight: per gram, per kilogram, per tonne. A live feed, without pause, without comment. The numbers shift as on a trading floor, as on a gold exchange. The Display is a large electronic board. Artist names, unit prices, weight categories — continuously updated. Some artists priced by the gram. Some by the kilogram. Some by the tonne. Every artist on the list submitted to the same question — the only question the market actually poses: how much of you, by weight, can I purchase?
