A woman has bought a $10,000 piece of art that cannot be seen and is purely conceptual in nature.
The "non-visible art" project is supported by actor James Franco and is committed to the idea that its works don't exist physically but are instead imagined by the artist. The piece purchased in this case is entitled "Fresh Air" and is described as "a unique piece," and "like buying an endless tank of oxygen."
Last month, the actor James Franco put his name behind a strange new project called the Museum of Non-Visible Art, which takes what it calls conceptual art to a whole new level. Their website is here and there's an explainer video here, but in simple terms, the idea of the museum is that the works of art don't exist physically, instead they are imagined by the artist.
