onethousandpaintings: Is it Art?
I think this is both incredibly wacky and brilliant at the same time. Onethousandpaintings.com is selling the numbers 1 to 1000 painted on canvas. Each an individual unique painting (12 x 12 x 1.5). The pricing goes like this:
Value = 1000 - number.
Initial discount: 90%.
Current discount: 70%.
The discount will decrease by an absolute 10% for every 100 paintings sold.
Min. price: $40.
But is it art? Is your favorite number still available?

Yeah, I think it's absolutely art. And my favorite number isn't available. It's a great idea and reminds me of the 2000Bricks project, which is also starting to take off.

100% Art as well as the minutes I have seen the other day. Each is cut by hand and the way the price is fixed is art as well. Each number has its own value so you can calculated the price of your favorite minute.

To me it's art..even though I wouldn't place it on my wall.
Actually it seems that similar projects are developing lately...with artinitials.com (same like the numbers with intials) and http://www.chessboardart.com (new concept combining chess and art in a similar way by painting them on gallery-style canvas).
