What the Money Is For II—Richard Schwarz (islandrabe)
1.8 × 2.3 × 0.04 cm. That’s all there is to it.
On display is a price tag bearing the retail price of the artwork itself. The piece was created by Tyrolean artist Richard Schwarz as part of his body of work under the label islandrabe.
The purchase by Kunstgenuss GesbR in January 2026 confirmed this price—and placed it in a context that raises questions: What determines the value of art? And what happens when that value refers to itself?
