Would you be willing to buy a number? Any number between 1 and 1,000? What if they were more expensive depending on how many numbers have already been sold?
Well, on OneThousandPaintings.com, you can now do that, and over 500 other people already have. The initial price of the paintings which feature one number from 1 to 1,000, was $96.30 and is now creeping up to $674.10 if only thirty or so more paintings are sold.
What's special about these paintings? One number, one painting - the number is the art is the limit is the price. Each of the one thousand paintings is unique, showing a number between 1 and 1000. This is an experiment of art and mathematics, on the web, the first of its kind.The value of each painting is defined by its number (value = 1000 - number). The earlier you buy, the more you save.
The last hundred paintings will sell for an amazing $963.00, which means that just for the last hundred alone, if he sells them all, he will have made ninety-six thousand dollars. I would hate to do the math on how much he could make in total from the venture.
