I hate Kant, but he is so much fun refering to. . .
Anyways about art: In the 60's the danish muncipality/town of Holstebro bought a sculpture by Alberto Giacometti for DKK 210.000, but since then some of his other sculptures have been sold for $ 14.000.000 and $ 27.000.000. This means that the sculpture in Holstebro now has a value of DKK 100.000.000 (almost $ 17.000.000). This have resulted in the sculpture being removed from the town square where it was standing as the city-council was a afraid it would get stolen, it is now in the city museum as a temporary solution.
Now the council is trying to figure out how to get the statue back at the square with out risk of vandalism or theft, they do not want to built a montre as it has always been part of the consept that you would be able to touch the sculpture. . . Can you see the dilema?
I think it is nice that they still want it displayed like that even though it has increased in value. . .
