B.A.G. #1
“Art is not about the artist. It is about the eyes that see it.”
— A.B.

The art of overvaluation in its purest form.

Not just a car. A statement. The first piece in the Billionaire Art Garage.

Starting bid: $1,000,000 — Who dares?

    One car. One story. One absurd price.

    An ordinary car. An absurd price.

    The Absurd Has Value

    Why would anyone sell a €2,000 car for $1,000,000?

    This is not just a car.
    This is not just a joke.
    This is not even just art.
    This is a question — for the world, for the market, for anyone who ever looked at a price tag and wondered:
    “Says who?”

    In 2025, we live in an economy where digital rocks are worth more than homes, and dirty sneakers sell for more than gold.
    Luxury is no longer about quality — it’s about meaning, irony, narrative, or simply noise.
    This project is all of that. And none of it.
    A regular, used 2002 Volkswagen Passat is being auctioned starting at $1,000,000.
    Not because it’s rare.
    Not because it’s fast.
    But because it challenges what value really is.

    who

    Who Made This?

    An anonymous creator. A regular person. Not an influencer. Not an art star.
    This is not a flex. It’s a mirror.
    What you see — is up to you.

    Is this a joke?

    FAQ – Frequently Absurd Questions

    Is this a joke?
    Yes. And no. It’s a joke with a price tag and real consequences. Like most things in 2025.

    What’s so special about this Passat?
    Nothing. It’s a 2002 Volkswagen Passat.
    That’s exactly the point.

    Why is the price $1,000,000+?
    Because the price is part of the art.
    Would it still be interesting if it cost €2,000?

    Who can participate in the auction?
    Anyone with money, courage, and a taste for the ridiculous.
    This isn't for bargain hunters.
    This is for people who buy meaning, not metal.
    Think you’re that kind of person?
    Prove it.

    When does the auction start?
    [Insert date/time here once it’s decided]
    It will take place on [insert platform, e.g., Katawiki].

    Will I receive ownership documents if I win?
    Absolutely. You’re buying a car. And an idea. You’ll get both.

    Is this an NFT or digital art project?
    No. It’s physical. Real metal, real wheels, real absurdity.

    Who are you?
    Let’s just say: someone normal, tired of how value is created and consumed.
    You’ll see no face. No influencer. No brand. Only the message.

    Is this legal?
    Yes. Fully. It’s a real product, a real transaction, and real taxes will be paid.
    This is not a scam. It’s a mirror.
