    I've never heard of the man before, but I don't get out much, so to
    speak. I went to the link you had, and I can tell you that the piece
    in question is nothing like what's on the web site. And the piece in
    question is not really so much in question as it is a "Poster Child"
    for a genre. But I was talking to Elizabeth and Mike (Velvet Da
    Vinci) and, well, let's just say that Mike thought it was quite
    humorous, and yes, it weighs just about 45 pounds. It is not the 
clean
    work on the web site. It's street signs cut into marquise shapes,
    like on the web site, but these are old and crusty looking, with
    sanding marks all over the perimeters, and it is strung on a hardware
    store chain. It's just thrown together.
