MSCHF's King Solomon's Baby is a sculptural project debuting at Pioneer Works that engages with collective ownership and investment. The piece reinterprets the biblical tale of King Solomon, where a sculpture designated as the 'baby' can be intact or divided based on the number of buyers. Investing alone costs $100,000 for one buyer to keep the sculpture whole, while more investors lead to fragmentation. This performance art piece critiques hyper-individualism and questions art's value based on ownership and perception.
MSCHF's latest project, King Solomon's Baby, merges art, commerce, and performance, inviting public participation in a playful exploration of collective ownership and value perception.
In this project, a sculpture representing King Solomon's proverbial baby can be owned whole for $100,000, or divided among multiple buyers, analyzing modern art's transactional nature.
