What's it about?

The most expensive artwork in Austria Wofür das Geld II - Richard Schwarz (islandrabe) 1.8 x 2.3 x 0.04 cm. That's all it is. A price tag is shown - bearing the selling price of the work itself. The work by Tyrolean artist Richard Schwarz was created in the context of his works under the label islandrabe. With the purchase by Kunstgenuss GesbR in January 2026, this price was confirmed - and put into a relationship that raises questions: What determines the value of art? And what happens when this value refers to itself?
