L'Homme au doigt (Pointing Man or Man Pointing) is a 1947 bronze sculpture by Alberto Giacometti, that became the most expensive sculpture ever when it sold for US$141.3 million on 11 May 2015.

Giacometti made six casts of the work plus one artist's proof. Pointing Man is in the collections of New York's Museum of Modern Art London's Tate Gallery, and the Des Moines Art Center.

One of the others is also in a museum, and the rest are in foundation collections or owned privately.

L’homme au doigt sold for $126 million, or $141.3 million with fees, in Christie's 11 May 2015 Looking Forward to the Past sale in New York, a record for a sculpture at auction.

The work had been in Sheldon Solow's private collection for 45 years.

oyibo people

...and Iberibeism.
Most of the rich oyibos will rather spend on unimportant things than give the money to the poor. They believe that if they worked hard to make the money, every other person should and to a great extent, I don't blame them.

That's why its called the pointing man.
Because its pointing at their stupidity.

This one better na, I saw one called invisible painting, a portrait with nothing on it, you just imagine the painting in your head, the price was just too ridiculous for me to reason such
