Garau considers his invisible sculpture to be a perfect metaphor of our time. After all, don’t we give shape to a God we have never seen?” “It therefore has energy that condenses and transforms itself into particles, in short, in us! When I decide to ‘exhibit’ an immaterial sculpture in a given space, that space will concentrate a certain quantity and density of thoughts in a precise point, creating a sculpture that from my title alone will take the most varied forms.

“The successful outcome of the auction testifies to an irrefutable fact: the void is nothing but a space full of energy, and even if we empty it and nothing remains, according to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that nothingness has a weight,” Salvatore Garau said. Special lighting and climate control are optional, since “I Am” is immaterial…

So how does one keep an invisible sculpture? Well, the artist suggests storing the artwork in a special room, in a space free from obstruction, of about 150×150 cm (4.92×4.92 feet). Many have wondered before what defines art but no one has gone so far as to include invisible art as a viable art form.Wondering what the new owner of this invisible sculpture will be getting for their money? Well, if we’re talking visible, tangible things, he will receive a certificate of authenticity that proves “I Am” is the property of the buyer. Warhol then stepped off the plinth and walked away. According to as.com, the sculpture's initial price. Italian artist Salvatore Garau recently auctioned an invisible sculpture for 15,000 euros (18,300). To activate the work Warhol briefly stood on a pedestal in the nightclub. Anything can be a work of art, even nothing. The concept of his Invisible Sculpture was to show that the absence of something could be art. The new exhibition however redefines art. In 1985 Andy Warhol created The Invisible Sculpture via performance art at the famed, New York downtown nightclub Area. We will venture a guess that this exhibition was not invisible. The artist is from Santa Giusta and is known for his previous exhibition “Buddha in contemplation” showcased last February in Piazza Della Scala in Milan. It was recently sold to a private buyer for 15,000(18,000), along with a certificate of authenticity proving that the vacant space is actually where the sculpture is placed.
The sculpture is entitled “I am” and it was sold in an auction organized by Art-Rite, one of the rare Italian auction houses that handle exhibitions dedicated exclusively to contemporary art. As UNILAD reveals, the Italian artist’s invisible sculpture is called Io Sono, or I Am. The owner of the invisible sculpture also gets a certificate of guarantee of the sculpture's authenticity. How does buying the invisible sculpture actually work? Italy 24 News reported that the work must be placed in a space that allows the dimensions of approximately 4.9 x 4.9 ft (150 x 150 cm) to be free of any obstructions. On the bright side, it has a carbon footprint of net-zero and can not possibly be replicated. If this description seems confusing it's because, just like Garau's art, it is.
