La famosa Merda d' Artista de Piero Manzoni Hez enlatada que, materializando las frivolidades del mercado del arte, terminó siendo vendida en el 2002 por la suma de unos 35 mil euros (cada latita?)

In 1961 an artist by the name af Piero Manzoni crapped in 90 small cans. They were subsequently sealed, according to industri standards. These small pieces of art circulated for many years to different museums around the world, and one of them reached Randers Museum of Art in Denmark in 1994 as part of the John Hunov collection.

Unfortunately, the can decided to selfdestruct right there! Experts have tried several times to repair the corroding can, but have not managed to stop the decomposition process. X-ray has revealed what seems to be an even smaller can inside the can.
But what seems the most hillarious part of it all, is the fact that Randers Museum is now confronted with lawyers, claiming the can must have been exposed to direct sunlight.
