Description
The flagship work of the artist’s research into monetary symbolism. It contains 10 kg of USD 100 bills — part of some two million dollars approved by the Federal Reserve for the project — with the Murano glass sphere as a symbol of wholeness and perfection. Conceptual development began around 2010 and the work was first presented in 2012. Exhibited at the 2019 Venice Biennale (European Cultural Centre).
