Life on the sale of the devil



The new word in the art market: do not buy a work of art and the artist's life. Tasmanian millionaire David Walsh signed an unprecedented contract with the French Artist of Christian Boltanski, according to which the death of the artist in every step of the Parisian studio will be shot on film. The video will be broadcast at the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, which opened in 2011. The opening of the Museum of Welsh has invested 70 million. Dollars. Boltanski is payable each day of shooting since January 1, so that the longer he will live, the more money earned. He is now 65 years old. The artist calls the play happening, and to win, he needs to live another eight years.
