nice sculpture of john cena, bro.
AYO!!!!
Its hard to argue with your assessment
Dang you saw him too lol
Could also be Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy.
I WHEEZED
The trick is you can not “feel” or “see” anything because you didn’t spend 18k on it. However, if you did, you’d feel the shit out of this empty space
this air hitting different when i make bad financial decisions
So it's the art equivalent of NFTs? Good to know 😂
Once I paid 5 times more for a can of coke in a luxury place. It tasted different and I can't forget it.
@@Clarkbardoone excuse you, it's called 𝓶𝓸𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓷 𝓪𝓻𝓽 thank you very much.
If that’s the case, I would’ve charged more
He's smart as hell, don't deny it. He scammed those artsy fat cats out of their grubby money because he knew they'd see value in anything, even nothing.
It's far more likely that this is just money laundering and the buyer was in on it.
@@Mbrace818 I agree. It's honestly pretty obvious. It's not like he's trying to hide it anyway.
Plus he sounded so sarcastic in that article.
Most likely a friend, his agent or himself bought the "piece", "big" commercial artist do it all the time.
I bet you it wasn't even a scam: it was just the standard idea of using art deals as cover for money laundering, only this time the mafia completely phoned it in and said "Fuck it, we'll call it modern art and the feds won't see it."
As much as this type of “art” enjoys me just cause people really try and convince me it’s some sort of amazing revolution, I always say props to them. Cause you do need to know how to seeps yourself to do this. And if I would be so charismatic that I could sell nothing, I would do it to.
His description for the invisible sculpture is like describing an IKEA dresser as, “a wonderful combination of atoms and particles, made from the finest factory farmed wood with a polish of pure glossy atoms and radiates an energy far beyond compare”
Hes literally describing oxygen
This feels like that fable "The Emperor's New Clothes"
@@VeritasA4G there is literally a legend/true story told from where I am which is very similar to this. Once, a Chinese foreigner visited a kingdom with a wise king who has a wise jester/minister. The foreign trader wanted to sell a piece of silk tapestry so beautiful that it can only be seen by someone who has a good heart. Of course every person including the king in the court lied and acted that they can see the tapestry. The wise Jester, knowing the Foreigner's scheme said that they can buy the invisible tapestry only with the golden coins which so rare that only those who speak the truth can see the coins. With this, the Foreigner, frustrated that they have been outwitted, finally revealed his scheme that there was no tapestry to begin with and wanted to make some quick money.
art is evolving, just backwards.
This is the new Renaissance period. Deal with it.
Seems like a lot of things are..
I don't think so, rich people doing money laundering don't speak for art.
That bull shit and sad 😔
😭😂
This is nearly the equivalent of a guy who sold a banana taped to a canvas for $120,000. Honestly insane how people will buy the bare minimum of something for so much money.
Funny update on this btw: The artist himself ate the banana off of the art lol.
(Thanks wolfdiabolique for correcting me.)
Rich people have so much money that saving it really wouldn’t matter and they’ve bought everything they want to buy, so now we have this
@@Rekter I believe it was the artist himself who ate it? It was supposed to a statement on something regarding modern art? Or am i thinking of someone else?
@@wolfdiabolique It was? Thanks for telling me, it’s been a while since I’d checked up on the story so I didn’t even remember who’d actually eaten it. If it was him though, then dang, what a genius.
@@wolfdiabolique I ate that banana because… it’s a… metaphor! Yeah that’s it, metaphor… on… how people… buy art, and then… they um… they ruin it?
*everyone in the museum nodding their heads*
“The Picasso of our time!”
Man took the Emperor's new clothes literally, and made it into profitable art??
lmaoo dang
My thought exactly
omg thats what I was thinking about !!!
Thats exactly it. 100%
If that isn’t enough there’s already a brand selling VR clothing on instagram. Has anyone taken that story seriously these days?
The dude either has 200 iq, either is 100 steps ahead of us, either decided to make this as a joke but didn't expect it'd work so now he's like "Ah yes, art". All and all, all these scenarios seem very likely. 😆
Man pulled a entire “emperors new clothes” act.
fr tho 💀
bruhhhh deadass he did
It's fitting
"Only the fool can't see the clothes"
And the king got fooled into seeing it
This just shows how the art business is straight up evolving backwards. We went from buying creative and beautiful art for a reasonable price to buying bananas taped to walls for 150k. Absolutely ridiculous
Edit: I am very sorry- I meant to say that the art "business" is evolving backwards. Fortunately, the art community is mostly still super lively and awesome!
I would still rather buy a banana taped to the wall then nothing
@@user-iq9xf4es9c fair point
I don't think the art community is evolving backwards, the art business is
No, it’s evolving. Just not into art. Into more and more money
@@NameName-yj7lp exactly, the business side of art are killing pure self expression. I like abstract art just as much as a I like traditional art but the business is killing both of these
I think my parents are ART THEIVES!!! As we have a room like this in our house 😥. I'm so ashamed.
Lmao you funy
you can right this wrong...i expect you to hire a demolition crew to remove the masterpeice from your home and return it to the owner...this is an obligation, not an option...
(joking btw)
this guy is proof that you can literally sell anything to rich people, even if that thing doesn't exist
The guy is proof that the art industry is perfect for money laundering.
"Intangible sculpture" would actually be a good description of a 3d rendered object, since it has no physical form, but is still sculpted and worked on.
Quick question: if i were to sneak into the art house and place a visible sculpture there made by myself, what would happen? Would all the people in the art gallery in their delusions think Salvatore made it? Would it be considered vandalism? I haven't destroyed anything as i just moved an item into the building. If the media comes to take pictures of it and the picture gets seen by someone who doesn't believe in invisible sculptures, what will happen?
You'll cause a group of people to believe magic exist.
@@nummynoms4525 I don't know what would be funnier, placing a high-quality sculpt there or a low-quality one.
The play-doh is funny because of how bad it is yet that is what people supposedly see when looking at the sculpt.
The high quality sculpt is funny due to its cockyness. It's saying "look, this is actual art which required a creative application of a hard to acquire skillset. That invisible sculpture stuff isn't art as nothing is created." The thought of someone finding it such an embarrasment to art that they go out of their way to spend hours on making a highly detailed sculpture to replace it with combined with the gallery visitors thinking it's real(maybe) is what makes it funny. It is also the only occasion where you can replace an artwork.
The shock of both is what makes both inherently funny. Although it would have to be quite a large play-doh sculpt to achieve the same shock value.
And our parents say selling lewds is the weirdest product to sell
I personally would rather buy air but that's just me
At least the feet pics are something
Onlyfans idea #8:
Selling photos of farts.
@@JokeHatesItHere You mean like compressed air containers? those have value.
@@davidlemos1136 Yeah I would buy a compressed air container those are sick
A man sold an "art piece" called The Blood Red Mirror for $1.1 million dollars and it was literally just a mirror painted dark red. I'm lowkey tempted to paint my mirror now 😐✋
Can't forget about the ductaped banana that sold for over two million dollars...
@@dork7546 My family can’t even afford health insurance for our dog and then people spend millions on a banana.
@@dork7546 Then, I could just shit on canvas, called it an art, nd people will buy it for 1M.
You forgot connections to wealthy people
@@elliotville7820 You remember that Fatima Pecci Carou chick that Mohammed talked a while back? You know, that Argenitinian artist who poorly traces over anime art, claims it as her own and sells it for thousands of dollars at museums? Well, she didn't got where she is now because of her skills(obviously), she got there because her family's wealth and connections.
sidenote: _Gonna take a moment to say how FRESH lookin Mohammed is today_
Modern FIRE DRIP
keep up the FIRE
This dude always stay drippin', I wonder how he does it.
@@Rekter legit i need to talk to his taylor
@@johnmivule-novabow8143 Forreal lol.
The cavemen's drawings are clearly much better than what Salvador thinks he made.
This guy just pulled the art version of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” 🤦🏽♀️💀
Ayo The same thing I was thinking 🤔
@@ArisArtcorner3739 like, even down to the people admitting they could see it 🤦🏽♀️😭
I mean, I have to respect the game. This man convinced someone to pay 18,000 dollars to use their imagination. That's talent! I know I couldn't do that.
That fact that he even had the nerve is a Serious baller move, you gotta give him credit for that much
This is obviously money laundering or a scheme he planned himelf to sell courses and books on "how to sell nothing". The smart part isn't convincing someone to pay him 18k. The smart part is him convincing small artists that someone paid him 18k. That way smaller creators will buy his book and courses.
Hey, man, I like your videos so much that I’m going to write you a really detailed complimentary review of this one. Now, I know you may not be able to read it, but it’s… the kind of comment that you feel, made up of Empty Space and Spirit. You will have to activate your imagination for this one, a power that anyone has even if they don’t believe they have it. I’m sure you’ll understand. Here goes:
…anyway, I hope you enjoyed that. I put a lot of thought and effort into it.
lmaoooo
Wow I'm so moved by the message, the ENERGY, the PASSION...I can feel it...
I to can feel the emotion in this invisible passage
I love this
Elect this man for president, these words were so powerful and immaculate and beautiful. Truly, you would unite the whole world with a speech like this one. 😭✨️
The only thing I've learnt from studying contemporary and modern art is that you can literally give a drunk homeless man's diarrhoea leakage on the side of the road a deep meaning as long as you use enough bullshit and sophisticated words to describe it
💯☝️☝️☝️
You forgot connections with wealthy people. It's not about what you do and what you know, only who you know
Yes
I can't tell if this guys a criminal or a certified hood classic
Both.
those air particles were feeling really loved that day
WOW. i just rendered this video out without music.
👀 dang, you did.
The music is just immaterial. If you can't hear it, you're just not in tune with the artist.
@@64BitLife smaaarttttt
This tops the artwork which was a banana taped to the canvas. Everyone go home.
Eccept Mohammad, he's looking so fine I tell you-
Even more exquisite that whatever,, that 'art' Was
It takes skill to sell invisible art
The virgin: "banana silver tape art" 😬
The Chad: "immaterial sculpture" 😎
My guess is that he had a deadline he missed and just scrambled some BS explanation to cover for it.
Still hilarious
He exists in a different dimension. I feel bad he spent so long making it and we cant even percieve the plane it exists upon
That would make such an interesting story ! 😮
I need an ace attorney case where 2 "artist" are arguing about copyright of invisible sculpture
Alt title: "Italian man gets payed over 18,000 dollars for absolutely nothing"
Works for me!
It baffles me what people will spend their money on. The person who bought this FR bought air
Imma go up to the status and inhale, just to steal it
I remember we were talking about this guy in a really small podcast I was guest in, it's called The Unreal Bruhcast, and I read an article about it live.
Im still waiting for "Invisible island", which is just ocean and must pay a fee to go there.
Sounds like a modern tale of Emperors New Clothes..except the 'Emperor' knows what is going on.
This is literally "The Emperor's new clothes" brought to life, and It's absolutely ridiculous.
imagine someone holding their hands in front of themselves and proclaiming "we're stealing this art piece"
This is the purest distillation of modern art that I have ever seen.
lawl this so is a contemporary "The Emperor's New Clothes" just like the one writer said... with all that money rich people are spending on this "invisible art" maybe they should also buy a book with that story to educate themselves just a little on how silly they look
I'd buy one of those
I'd pay for it with invisible money, tho.
There is also the music piece called 4:33 . You open the piano, sit in silence for 4 minutes and 33 seconds, then close the lid.
To be fair, the point is to listen to the sound of silence, and how there are noises even in silence...
That dude is on a whole another level
"Air and spirits--" Clearly he'd had one to many booze spirits cooking up this plan. Good grief, Grunkle Stan would be proud 🤣
I’ll pay to see a pantomime of the moving/delivery of said sculpture ..
Like them trying to pick up as the maker starts screaming “You’re Picking it Wrong!” then making space for it on a mini van…💀
The thing about modern art is that it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it has a story or meaning behind it, it can be sold.
There's an artist who literally took a dump in a can and sold it as art just to prove that people will buy anything with a name or meaning to it. Reason why people bought it was exactly because it tried to prove something, and in buying it, they proved him right. Kinda stupid still but yea
Ok, so you're telling me that air, which literally is everywhere, was sold for 18k dollars, but an artwork which takes blood, sweat, tears and hours to make usually is sold for $1000 at most... Why?
Air isnt everywhere
And then people ask the hard working artist for free art :-\
I know what have i been doing with my life i had been making art wanting to be a freelance artist using ink and time to make it when i could be a rich person in the future for selling air 😂😂
"artist sells literally nothing for $18k"
Ah, I see you've discovered contemporary art.
just imagine making art and selling it, and then you see people buying invisible art for like a bunch of money
Money laundering as this may be, it's still so damaging for artist who spend a lifetime on their art to see shit like this.
This is literally "the emperor's new art piece"
yeah, this is likely money laundering...but if it's legit, I have to say he's kind of a genius.
Ah! But what if the money paid for the sculpture is an *invisible* $18,000?? Lol
Thanks for another great video, and for everything you do. Great stuff, as always!
0:33 "big COJONES"😂😂 from this moment on I knew this one was gonna be a wild ride
I'm feeling very conflicted on this video.
On one hand, I love your humour in the first part (And with your incredible painting at the end, OMG!)
On the other hand the actual topic makes me really angry.
Both Salvatore and the art galleries, as well as auction houses, not to mention giving this debacle facetime on the news.
There are many examples of ... Well... crap, being sold as art (banana taped to a canvas, just to name one). But this truly takes the prize.
Oh, and a sculpture is MATETIAL by the very definition, damnit!
... But I like the way you present this, as I said at the beginning. It's a great video
You're just envious because Italy always have the best art.
Note: this is a joke, I am not insulting you. But actually I don't find anything shocking, after the art market becoming a financial matter instead of an artistic one, after the banana taped to the wall, after that music composition called "1 minute 30 (or something around that time) of silence", artistic installations that are destroyed and remade out of nothing at every displacement, digital art which is very beautiful and is surely 100% art but technically non-existing in the reality until it's printed, lots of patents for abstract ideas on every subject, NTFs selling the property of virtual images, and a lot of other symbolic values created by culture that we assume everyday as objective and existent. I am not saying that the invisible sculpture makes sense, I am just saying that it just shows the craziness - which sometimes is creativity - of the reality. Let investors play with their billions, they don't know what to spend them on.
I suddenly feel the urge of studying Anthropology of the arts
Japan made anime so I think they have the best art
Honestly, the fact he managed to sell the sculpture at all is quite poetic and artistic in its own way, really makes you think
I am not an artist but my damn god art drama is so damn intresting I just binge watch everything all day long from so many different channels pls
Imagine buying an invisible sculpture from overseas, it'll be delivered in a box that says careful, it's fragile.
This man broke the system selling nothing bro...he is my new role model 🔥✨
Actually in Chile a invisible digital sculpture was sold and I think they sold it for even more
Art gods: "You have to look beyond what you see"
Me: "But there is nothing beyond what I---"
Art gods: "Look beyond what you see!"
_"...and never seen before sculpture"_ *literally* ; I can't stop laughing so hard XD
i feel like this is actually a display of some astounding skill- just more on the side of stringing words together than art. he'd have the carisma to make a fine public speaker
Artist: What I tried to do was capture the hopelessness of life. There's no flowers no grocery store.
Lady: So the art store wouldn't take a check again.
This just reminds me of that commercial.
This lowkey reminds me of the story, "The Emperor with No Clothes".
The story of the emperor's new clothes suddenly hits different now
I’m not going to lie, looking at that wall made me nervous. Totally waiting for a jump scare.
It’s not who did it better, it’s who did it first. That’s why so many simple and abstract art pieces are so expensive.
You got to admit, it's impressive. Making over 18k from absolutely nothing. Not everyone can be that bold
And when I try to do it people laugh at me 😔
Society these days
You forgot the step about, already having an established name or brand, thereby adding value to even just an idea of yours and can therefore be used as an investment and sold to other people, whereafter it will increase in value and become a part of the art world, as the top buyers see it.
Bruh why are you doing this to me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭🤣
"Find a rich perrrsooon"
Nice piece of art, should put it in a glass box so that nobody can steal it
Also, this reminds me of this psychological experiment. It's a group of people answering questions that one person would ask. The thing is that most people in that group that does the answering are actors who intentionally give the wrong answers. In that same group there is one random test subject that genuinely does not know about this whole experiment and answers as they would like. The thing is that the test subject feels pressured by most actors in the room who give false answers and gives the same answers, fully knowing that the answers are wrong. The buyer was probably subjected to the same stuff and eventually caved in to buy the "art".
I love how the identity of the buyer hasn't been revealed. Why the secrecy? What's the worst people could do when they find out who bought it, steal the sculpture?
Mohammed looking fire as always
The craziest part is that the "invisible art" can be donanted to a foundation to reduce taxes. That's the actual reason behind these weird pieces are sold in auctions, to Inflate their value and then either resell them twice their price or give in donation.
See Mom, I _do_ have a job. It's called *Nothing*
Art collecting is a rich flex. Buying an invisible sculpture is the ultimate flex becuase it really shows you will literally buy nothing for clout. And of course he has the certificate of authentication to make sure nobody can counterfeit it.
This Is the tale of the emperor's new clothes all over again
Dang your drip tho, that slick hair 🔥🔥🔥
I’m like, That ain’t nothing! You bloody serious? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️⭐️🌹
If people are willing to pay so much for empty space I say he deserves that money.
This is both hilarious and genius.
Trying to ✨visualize✨ it, I saw a lemon. I would probably buy a nonexistent lemon for 18,000 dollars.
Let’s try and not think too hard about what this says about me-
oml i love his art! Cant you see its clearly his bank balance in future! So original and smart!
0:33 LMAO COJONES DJFBENJF
(as a Spanish person i didn't expect that 😭😂)
this is LITERALLY, and I mean L I T E R A L L Y "The Emperor's New Clothes", are people really this insane to fall for that???? Damn.
Imagine stealing the sculpture and no one will ever know where you placed it
Modern art began as a break away from the strict rules of traditional art, now Modern Art is becoming exactly what it set out not to be in the beginning, fussy, pretentious and ridiculous
“Why yes, this highly expensive, one of a kind dead celluar specle that was intricately removed from my finger, is what i present you with today. This simulates the dread in which our society has to go through in these tiring times and the connection between the viewer and my artwork has been strategically placed in which they understand what i have opened them into. It entrances the mind and brings them to a far more unfathomable realm which i have put here in this dead skin cell. I had the idea to publish this in a museum with a humble amount of 1.5 million dollars; for i have truly accessed a state in which art is has a new meaning and for that, i give you this stunningly deep piece”
My guy was literally the embodiment of O’hare from the lorax
I always thought "The Emperors new clothes" story could never happen in real life until now-
there is literally a legend told from where I am which is somewhat similar to this. Once, a Chinese foreigner visited a kingdom with a wise king who has a wise jester/minister. The foreign trader wanted to sell a piece of silk tapestry so beautiful that it can only be seen by someone who has a good heart.

With this, the Foreigner, frustrated that they have been outwitted, finally revealed his scheme that there was no tapestry to begin with and wanted to make some quick money.
"Space is empty"
Me after seeing these artists: No no, you have to imagine, "feel" the presence of the sculptor in front of you.
Lol
That art you made es, Chef's kissed
Man, I love the sculpture of spaghetti energy.
Imagine the guy who tips over the invisible sculpture and destroys it. Going to be hard to live that down
Imagine if someone stole this invisible piece of art LOL! Oh the chaos that would ensue!
Imagine audience accidentally push the invincible sculpture while taking selfie, the news gonna blow up!
It time like these that make me think
If he can sell nothing then I can sell my art for a livable wage
This is the story of The Emperors New Cloths only in real life.
