I like the honesty of her work, this is a great exhibit piece and I would guess has been bought by a gallery, it is a snap-shot of life and as such as meaningful as any painting, just not very practical if you want to put it in your living room. Installation art is usually so cold and intellectual, I like this because it is human. $4 million isn't much in the art world and money is a crazy value to put on art anyway. One of Modigliani's paintings ended up as the roof for a chicken shed, recently his painting 'doomed lover' sold for $214 million.
