An Artist Is Selling All the Underwear Men Left in His House for $50k

Jonathas de Andrade’s new art installation at the Armory Show is causing a commotion.

As reported by Artnet, the new installation – titled Olho-faísca/spark eye – consists of 68 pairs of men’s underwear left behind by Andrade’s ex-boyfriends over the years.

This art piece is currently priced at $50,000, which means that each piece of underwear is worth about $735. The briefs are all vacuum-sealed and hung like they’re for sale at a clothing store.

“The piece gets a lot of attention. People ask a lot of questions like ‘Did he have all these lovers?’” gallery partner Daniel Roesler told Artnet. However, Andrade hasn’t disclosed how many men contributed to this collection, nor how long it took him to collect all 68 pairs.

To pull off this piece, Andrade bought a vacuum-sealing machine to seal the briefs himself. In 2020, he had a similar art installation that consisted of Speedos left behind in changing rooms in Recife, Brazil. Those items were collected over the course of 10 years.

Huh. The only thing I've ever gotten from a hookup was my wallet stolen.

He must be the bottom, cuz only tops would wear some of those basic ass boxers lol

[CautiousLurker 19,709]

OF bois and girlies sell individual pairs for thousands so this is hardly impressive or noteworthy imo 

And they don't even need the vacuum seal 

[Jnick8 530]

Wow. Very forgetful lovers.
