šØ āA Painting Made with... the Human Stomach?!ā Not a joke. In 1961, Italian artist Piero Manzoni created a work titled: "Merda dāartista" aka "Artistās Shit." š© Yes, Manzoni literally canned his own fecesā 90 cans, each labeled and sealed. And the wild part? He priced them based on their weight in gold. Today, some of these cans sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. š§ But why would he do this? His message? A bold critique of the art market. A big middle finger to how we assign value. And a haunting question: āIf I say itās art, and you buy itā Then what really separates art from š©?ā Itās one of the most extreme examples of conceptual art, and it still gets people talking.
