There are people in the world that have all the time for anything Hitler-related. They are intrigued with his ability to command a country, manipulating citizens to kill around 20 million people, while the only person Hitler ever killed was himself.

So when a statue of the evil dictator went up for auction during the “highly anticipated art auction season”, the piece called “Him” by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan sold for $17.2 million (R255 Million).

Should you approach “Him” from behind, you might suppose the figure to be “a small child kneeling in prayer. But from the front, the viewer comes face-to-face with the unmistakeable likeness of Hitler.”

The phrase ‘money well spent’ doesn’t really come to mind here.
