    A total of 799 editions of the sculpture were made.

Ie not a total loss for humanity.

That’s .004%* of an increase in value for the rest of them.

*Completely made up number as I’m not an art valuer, but the point stands.

Clearly the route to infinite value is destroying all of them

There can only be one.

Now I understand better that New Yorker cartoon: “Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.”

Then I give 1/799th of a shit about this.

Assuming it's totally useless, making 799 of these pricey thingies is certainly a waste.
