If you look closer, you'll notice that these sets of 'damned' are actually rotated copies of each other around the perimeter, and can be made in any 3D modeling program with stock models. The physical object is done by stereolithography (you can see the "grain" on the page) with what appears to be standard laser-cured resin. This process is used for rapid prototyping and is getting cheaper and cheaper. It severely lacks human touch, noble materials and variance of the "damned".<br><br>Limited edition, private collection, yea right. It's not like the artist is carving away the marble. Making more copies is virtually as easy as File --> Print. <br><br>And to have the decency to charge $42K for this pile!! Reminds me of a cheap, soul-less version of Rodin's 'Gates of Hell'.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dmitry Paradis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 27th 2007 4:53PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
