It’s “Art” is too commonly used these days, IMO

However, the Statue of Liberty isn’t a real person.

The Washington monument doesn’t have human features and isn’t meant to look like a person, but a tribute. Not sure why I would think he is a pretty cool President seeing as I’ve never personally met the guy tho…

Point is, this cost $10 million dollars to make.

How much of that is in raw bronze? How much to transport it to artist and to display location?

How much did it cost to pay for the building it was housed in before being delivered?

Etc, etc…

Then let’s figure out why this thing cost $10m dollars.

Edit: typo and clarity.

Moreover, how much would you pay to see this statute if it wasn’t displayed in public?
