NYC Garbage Sold As Art
Justin Gignac's success in selling garbage as art is proof you can sell anything that is packaged nicely.
If Justin Gignac's success in selling garbage as art is anything to go by, doing something (and doing it well) because others thought you couldn't, actually works.
Gignac's New York City Garbage is just that, except packaged nicely in transparent cubes and sold as art. Selling between $50 online and $100 at selected stores in the U.S, the handpicked NYC Garbage has owners in 29 countries, according to Gignac's website.
The New York City-based artist and entrepreneur has been selling garbage since 2001 and has said he wanted to prove packaging could sell anything. Gignac has also sold commemorative editions of NYC Garbage cubes including St. Patrick's Day in Ireland and President Obama's inauguration.
It sounds ridiculous but you’ve got to love a guy who can make a profit out of garbage at a time where newspaper sales are declining.
