Have you ever wondered what one billion dollars looks like? It’s such a huge number, so perhaps it needs a more quantifiable comparison. Consider this. One billion seconds ago, the Bee Gee’s had a number one song on the charts back in the 1970′s. To abstract? Then perhaps you’ll appreciate Art Marcovici’s installation that places one billion US dollars on 12 standard size palettes inside a gallery near you. Wrapped in plastic, this is undoubtedly the most expensive art piece ever put on display. That is until I can manage to get someone to lend me one trillion dollars for my new art concept.
