Sergio Furnari said he thought the lifesize sculpture – which no one commissioned – would raise ‘millions’ of dollars
To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.
“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.
Thank heavens TheGuardian has become a global mouthpiece for this work, prompting a surge of interest in this topic, a boost the artist will appreciate.
