The offerings run a quite varied gamut of media, techniques, and tastes. Here a few that I thought would appeal to the discriminating connoisseurs in the crowd (l-r) -
1.) A map of the world made out of stale bread. I believe that the map is burned onto the bread with a small blow-torch. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.
2.) A bronze beauty drying her hair - the bronze beauty is actually quite beautifully distorted. And, don't ignore the cow painting in the background - 3 cows on a white field, approx. 5×8 feet. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford either of them.
3.) My personal favorite - a book of golf courses (primarily European) pictures. Opened, a spread is approx. 2.5 × 5 feet. The book is quite thick and comes not only with a slipcase but also the viewing stand pictured here. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it - $10,800 CAN per copy.

I asked myself "How can the hair drying sculpture be so wrong but look so right"
My answer "3 different perspectives seen from 1."
