Shirt by Dries Depoorter
About a year ago, Belgian artist Dries Depoorter began selling black t-shirts. They have the word 'shirt' embroidered on the front, followed by a number. The number indicates the order number. So the first shirt he sold had number 0001. The second was 0002, etc.
The gimmick is that he sold the first shirt for 1 euro, but the price increased by one euro with each successive order. Within a week he was at shirt 0172, so it looked like he was doing pretty well.
Now, a year later, a new shirt will cost you 185 euros. This suggests he hasn't had many sales in the past year.
