How much would you pay for a slice of pickle from a McDonald’s cheeseburger?
Plastered on a ceiling by the juice of its ketchup?
The ceiling of the Michael Lett Gallery in Auckland?
“Pickle” is a piece described as “a sculptural gesture,” an examination of “the way value and meaning is generated between people.”
What does this mean?
It means you have walked across a stage naked but fully clothed. And that you found the exposure meaningful. And you are willing to pay for it, generating for the artist, the nearly $6,300 in asking price. You just made this art.
