... that after The Persistence of Chaos sold at auction for $1,345,000, its artist said he would either spend the money on creating another piece of art or burn it?
QPQ: - Not done Overall: @Ezlev: Oh wow, great article! I would have never found it on my own, and that is the magic of DYK. Everything checks out on my end, other than the QPQ. All three hooks are good enough, and I don't mind which is chosen. Great work, I eagerly await your next review, ping me so that I can approve this when you're able to!
