Oddly enough the buyer is not identified.

He named the sculpture "BUDDHA IN CONTEMPLAZIONE" And the best part is he says it exists in this space and can never be moved.

"So you really just taped a square and called that a sculpture?"

"The hardest part of modern Art is figuring out who's punking who"

"I’m just amazed that the sculpture didn’t fall over at 2:15"

"Oh man. I have the identical one in a shoe box in my closet. I’m going to dust mine off and display it."

"Don’t rush to Milan yet.. It’s been stolen already. The ransom is at £20,000 I believe."

Someone should take a dump in the middle of the tape square and say, "There. Now you can see the POS."

Sure 18k sounds like a good deal, but...
After shipping and insurance and site prep fees to display it properly at their Villa, the "mystery buyer" will probably be in it for twice that amount.
