bbc 4 - the man with the golden gavel
documentary about swiss mentalist auctioneer follows baron simon de pury around the world as he sells a model bee for 12 thousand pounds. a ball of a blokes s**t for 40k. fails to sell a 3.5 million bit of plastic but his staff manage to break it setting it up. one of his advisors took a year of hard work to come up with a term for the new art scene the baron is very keen on indeed, that of rare toys. A year later he coined the term "toy art". he has just sold the "vagina brain monster" by a venezuelan artist for 2500 quid.
utterly bonkers.
