Having seen the larger pictures, indeed a very fine piece and had time to think about this a little more. If I were rich I think it may well be worth every penny. One just has to make a comparison to some of the art worlds and markets harbingers of taste. I will not mention any names like Saatchi, gosh did I say Saatchi !! Collectors and a market for if not the talentless many creators of style over substance. Take the over hyped Diamond set cast platinum skull all "Hurst's" handy work? I do not think so. Does it shock, is it new to the world of art, does it express anything? perhaps just affluent decadence.
This axe was actually made by the artist.
