Some great works of art celebrate excellence, but it takes a real artist to construct something this beautiful paying homage to inferiority.
A monumental work by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, charting every loss suffered by the England football team from 1874 and 1998 has been sold for an astronomically high price.
The sculpture was purchased by an anonymous collector at auction for £425,000 (€596,230). A French-speaking member of the Sotheby’s Bear and Witness exhibition in London made the sale to the unknown fine art connoisseur over the telephone.
The speculation has already begun over who has the requisite funds and hatred of the English national team to buy such a piece.
