An Italian artist has sold an invisible sculpture for ยฃ13,000 and given the buyer a certificate of authenticity to prove it is real.
Sardinian-born Salvatore Garau, 67, sold the artwork, titled 'I am', to an unidentified buyer earlier this month.
The 'air and spirit' sculpture is intended to be displayed in a 5ft by 5ft square in a private space without artificial lighting or air conditioning
The 67-year-old described the piece as a 'vacuum' because 'the vacuum is nothing more than a space full of energy
'Even if we empty it and there is nothing left, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, that 'nothing' has a weight', Garau told Hypebeast.
'Therefore, it has energy that is condense and transformed into particles, that is, into us.'
