What Is The Invisible Sculpture?

In 2021, Italian artist Salvatore Garau sold an invisible sculpture titled “Io Sono” (I Am) for over $18,000. Though it had no physical form, it captured global attention and redefined the boundaries of modern art.

A modern sculpture of elongated human figures, seemingly merging together, stands outdoors against a backdrop of a futuristic building with a smooth, metallic surface. The sculpture is made of a glossy, bronze-like material and is positioned on a minimalist plinth on a paved surface. The sky is bright and partly cloudy.

The Art of Imagination

The Invisible Sculpture exists in thought, emotion, and space. According to Garau, “Even if we can’t see it, it exists. It is made of air and spirit.”
