Sergio Furnari said he thought the lifesize sculpture – which no one commissioned – would raise ‘millions’ of dollars
To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.
“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.
Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise “millions” of dollars. Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.
That is hilarious.
He could modify it so piss on the head comes out a hole in the neck.
Wow, what a traged… BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’m sure it would be a hit at a shooting gallery
Quality-wise … looks like a shit statue.
What a smooth brain
He couldn’t even line up the letters properly on the shirt on a ‘hundred thousand dollar’ statue.
Same vibes as this richard spencer sculpt.
I’ve heard that the Charlie Kirk Memorial Edition Rainbird Sprinkler isn’t sell as well as expected either.
Ah yes. Michelangelo’s Pieta, the Mona Lisa…the Kirk.
I know enough artists and yeah, of course people are cheap and undervalue art. But if you’re making art strictly to make money, you’re in the wrong game. Regardless of the subject matter, it just isn’t a well done piece. So you created an unattractive sculpture of a despicable man, hoped to make a million dollars from it, and you blame people being cheap? Nah.
Maybe he could change the face to mitch? Lot’s of mitch fans would probably pay a few bucks for it.
Aw shucks
I like how he made sure it could be modified easily to put Trump’s dick in his hand. That was thoughtful.
Also, release the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES ™
Shit happens when you invest without market research…
How come this git is still in the news? He was not someone of any importance, not domestically and definitely not internationally.
