World's smallest sculpture no bigger than ant's head accidentally crushed by photogra

Von Tonner · 03-12-15, 06:31 AM

I am sorry but I seriously do not see any point to creating a work of art that in order to see it one has to use a microscope.

Even the artist only realised the mishap after searching for it through the lens.

“The technician went to change the orientation and then for the next half an hour we were looking for the piece through the lens.

“Eventually I noticed there was a fingerprint exactly where the sculpture used to be and I was like ‘Man, you have just destroyed one of the smallest art pieces ever made’. I slightly freaked out.”

Call me insensitive but I burst out laughing at this. What a brilliant hook to use on your next hot date as you try to entice her into your lair..."Hey babe, wanna come up and see my etchings through my microscope?"

Hot date; "Hopefully that's not all we'll need the microscope for."
