It demonstrates how people are ready and willing to spend their money on items they don't need or serves any practical value. Members of different societies all over the world throw money away on many useless pleasures.
Everyone wastes money. This artist just took it further and demoted 11,000 dollars of all its practical value and created something of solely aesthetic value.
i mainly enjoy art for its stylish taste anyway and this one is quite lovely
What makes a bunch of cheap bricks worth a hundreds of thousands of dollars? Just because its arranged to the shape of a house..?
Its called emergent properties of a system. You wouldnt pay big money for sugar, water, oils, and acids, but when it becomes a human being, its worth way more.

get money where you can get it. however i would never spend money around that amount for that no matter the beauty, or to show my worth.

There was no actual skull used in the making of this. The guy seriously just used bricks of cash, and carved them into that shape.
It might look cool, but it's a blatant "Fuck you!" to the working class.
It looks to me like he is working. Turning 11k into 50k is a damn good turnover and there IS someone out there that would buy it for that much or more. So who is throwing there money away? Artist or the person that buys it?
Both.
It's not like the medium of paper and ink are inherently that expensive. You can get the same effect by printing your own parody of a US dollar, with the added bonus of getting to throw in more creativity and maybe even some legitimate original artwork.
The only thing I can see using real money would add to this project, is to remind the sculptor and buyer of how much expendable income they have--which is ironic, as I imagine the message behind it is to relate that death comes for the wealthy and poor alike.

A building has practical value and requires a lot of people to work very hard.
This guy superglued $11,000 to a skull/box.

This.
I want that shit done to my skull when I die.
11k?
Who cares.... I mean, if yer dead already.
As for the artist, at least he/she made a profit hahaha

Everything that uses money is a fuck you to the working class :P
That sucks... I can get an artist who's a real badass to do it to my skull, I'm sure
Then how could it possibly have costed 11 K ?
I can't see any other way.
