If you has 17.2 million dollars, what would you do with it? Travel the world? Help the needy? Buy Jerry Weintraub’s old place? How about buying a totally creepy statue of Hitler? No. Good answer. But, not everyone feels that way.
A sculpture of a kneeling Hitler by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, just brought in $17.2 million dollars at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in New York City, reports the AP.
The piece, called “Him,” first “appears as a small child kneeling in prayer when approached from the rear. But from the front, the viewer comes face-to-face with the unmistakable likeness of Hitler.” Oh. Ummm. Ok. Art is weird.
