It will be worth an absolute fortune afterwards. That's the somewhat ridiculous part.

That blank white slab will be worth 6-figures+ arista. The fact that he's painted over it will be considered "art" in itself.

Similarly, the "half shredded" painting will be worth far more the next time it's sold than it was before it "shredded".

Bizarre nonsense, but the art world is what it is.
