$500,000 nut artist on eBay

The translation of this listing:

As a common ebayer, you might see in this piece a whistle, or a space horn, or even a nose. As an artist I see a full and shapely expressive form reflecting and commenting upon society, commercialism, and the continuous conflict between positive and negative space.

As the "common person" you are, this might look like something you could make with spare hardware in your basement and a $2.50 can of nuts. But I'm much better than you, so it's actually all this BS.

My body is a vessel of creation and expression in tune with everything around me, including what you would see as "just another cashew"

I am not only awesome, but a lot better than you.

Again, I don’t expect most to fully understand the complexity of the form but as you can see it is quite powerful.

If you don't get it, it's just because I'm better than you.

This is like the white canvas with a black line across it, that somehow is earth shattering artwork...or something I did when I was bored in elementary school.

I suppose I should've put a smiley in there somewhere...I was being sarcastic. I don't get art, and I'll be the first to admit it, but other people do and that's great for them. I didn't get that far through the listing though, before the fiance made me do chores.
 
Hmmm...

Famed art critic Richard Barokavov had this to say about the piece

And when I Googled this "famed art critic" I got... The eBay ad, and nothing else. Hmmmm.
 
It might be nice if he had a ruler in the picture or listed the dimensions, but I think we can guess.
