08 Magritte is good, isn't he? #2
I once wrote that the trick to shopping at a museum shop is to buy things that make you think, "Who would ever buy something like this?"
The reason, I stated, is as follows:
“It's because they won't be mass-produced. They don't sell, after all. In an era when the world is overflowing with things, and the same items are available not just on that day in that place, but anytime, anywhere (even online), things that will never be produced again have value beyond mere scarcity. The interesting thing to consider is the fact that there are "creators" and people who "decided" to create and sell something that, by all accounts, nobody would want. Don't you think that's interesting?”
While no one has sent me a message saying, "You're buying things that will probably sell (like ballpoint pens), aren't you?", this rubber "foot" is definitely something that makes you wonder, "Who would ever buy something like this?" I also bought this at the Magritte Museum.
I'm proud to say that it's probably no longer sold anywhere.
