    I’m not sure but I think no piece of pre-historic Mesopotamian artifact leaves that region legally.
    These are 5 to 7 thousand year old artifacts!!!! They are not random antiques!!!! They are fragile pieces of history and culture of certain part of the world that need constant up keep and attendance. They belong in a museum.
    I’m not saying this particular dude has done something illegal per se but this just doesn’t seem right to me.

    One piece of "money-art" I would understand - it's a fun, if literal and clonky idea. But to hang your house full of it is repetitive and meaningless. One does not add to the other; instead, the repitition exposes that it is a shallow concept, because there are no new layers to explore through different pieces. Moreover, since it is his own work, it hints at obsession and narcicism.
    His collection of antique art is too much like a hoarder. With the exception of the vase by the Blah-painting, the pieces are crowding each other.
    It's all just too much. Personally, I believe in more purposefully editing and curating the art on display. This is supposed to be a home, after all, not a storage facility (it's not even a gallery, really).

    The "money" art is so literal. He has to convince you of how great his artwork is through grandiose adjectives. But the art itself is anodyne and shallow. The interiors are quite nice, but also part of what I call Hong Kong sterile, and I'm sure an architect and decorator are who really created it. These are the wealthy who I find very boring. Good thing he's got lots of money. He would never have made it as an artist.

The fact that he has ancient artifacts show his appreciation for the hard work done by genius people who would have had all this in their homes ANYWAY. People are way too judgey here.

    I found this conflicting. I thought at first the money pieces interesting but the artists fascination with currency to this degree speaks to some obsession of his own regarding the possesion and power of money, the love of money its transient nature. Maybe the use of butterflies in connection with money? I fou d it in the end disquieting. It distracted for me from the layout which waa interesting. Then the primeval art collection again a most obessional. His desire to control tbis art without understanding it it his thinking the two headed figure was a mother and father is I'm sure uncertain. But overall a very interesting watch. I'd like to hear him discuss these questions

    I like his home and his passion. You can see it clearly. What i find disturbing is the comment section here. So much low key hatred and jealousy. This man opened his home to the viewers. Be kind. Obviously if he obtained the artifacts illegally would he display it publicly like this? People need to chill. And i agree with him, so much of our culture is about money so much so that everything and everyone is revolving around money these days - sadly.

    the pretension of this man is astounding. money on the walls? that's not art. that's waste. and those ancient artifacts should be in a museum in their country of origin. sorry. but i'm just disgusted.
