The Million Dollar Home Page went through a couple of bursts before it was inevitable that all pixels would be sold, so it just remains to be seen if Sala will get another big flurry of press.

That's like saying a site that got Slashdotted has hit their tipping point. The concept is more about social change and all this demonstrates is a quick burst of popularity or 'faddism'...

First, there was the Milliondollarhomepage and now this? Fiendishly simple and virally attractive. If I weren't down with the flue, I think I would have definitely been struck by this virus... 67? 42? Why would someone want to buy a small number? If you're willing to invest some time and money, here's a brilliant idea: *Throws the idea* Why not make them six-digit or eight digit paintings and proce them at a $1 each? That way you could buy off your birthdate, your girlfriend/wife's birthdate, and so on... And at $1 apiece, it couldn't be any cheaper. Well, if it's too cheap for art, let's make it $10 then... What say? Regards, Shri. PS: That offer was supposed to be a joke. But now that I seriously begin to think of it, the possibilities of what could happen... I don’t believe it!

He used to be a stockbroker. He left stockbroking to focus on his own artwork that he calls The Money Series. You can see it at www.anthonywhite.net Sala's work is definately art. I hope this helps.

The fact that there is a finite amount to this is what creates value. YES - if he sneaks aroound and makes thousands of Brian's number 67, Brian is likely screwed. That is what happens in the stock market where CMGI led to 500 other internet incubators. Steven - Japan has been underwater for 20 years and may never reach 40,000 again so your logic is flawed.

Brian, the difference is that the stock market has, and will, appreciate. There is real value in that market, and it creates wealth. This creates nothing but an interesting story about how to fleece people with their permission. Hey, you want to spend your money on crap, be my guest. But don't compare it to the stock market. Different beastie entirely. No, that is not what that logic (or the book) says at all.

He sold 36 paintings in February, 20 in March, 6 in April … and 194 today! That’s largely thanks to posts by Seth and Boing Boing. I heard about it from Brian. Seth says he might donate his to MoMA, Sala couldn’t ask for better marketing! [...] [...] Sala, the artist, has an interesting post in his blog today.
