I worked at a gallery that sold those (I forget the artists name) and a small one like that would sell for like $15-30K and large ones would sell for over $200K. They were total crap in my humble opinion, the paintings were glued to each side of the pyramid poorly, looked like cheap giclee prints up close but wealthy people bought them up like crazy. There were so many more amazing pieces of art in that gallery in the same price range, I never understood it.

I installed a few in personal residences and always imagined a drunk guest just falling face first into it and ruining the whole thing. edit: The small ones did have plexiglass over them.

That seems like the kind of visual that relies on the lack of depth perception on a screen.

The primary purpose of the fine art community is to work as a money laundering system for the rich.

There is a very old similar illusion where you paint a face on a recessed carving of a face, and it creates the illusion that the face is actually standing out from the wall and also that it is following you as you move around the room. They do work, as far as I understand it, but it probably works better the bigger and further away it is.

Yes but in the gallery we had to mount them at average eye height, overly short/tall humans had a harder time getting the illusion to work. For all my poo poo talk they were pretty cool but the novelty wore off pretty quick.

I'm seriously asking because unless it's drug dealers trying to flip cash or the owner of a gallery taking a cut from inflated prices I'm not seeing the benefit for the rich to invest in something that can't be borrowed against.

Ah, so the rich aren't really laundering money through it, they're just manipulating the market to make profits. Like always. That makes more sense.

Ducklings are the most absolutely suicidal animals in the world. We had ducks when I was a kid and you couldn't leave anything at all lying around that could collect water because if you did and it rained you'd inevitably find several ducklings drowned in it. Like even an upturned frisbee would be enough. They still breed and multiply like nobody's business though. We ended up with like 30 ducks at one point.
