The Web was ablaze this morning, following a New York Times report Wednesday that Kanye West’s “Famous” sculpture, which was exhibited at Blum & Poe gallery in L.A. last weekend, was carrying a seven-figure price tag. But the gallery said the report was incorrect: The piece, which appeared in West’s “Famous” music video, released in June (watch the video here, but be warned that it does contain graphic content), does not cost $4 million dollars. “It’s misinformation, the work is not for sale as of now and never was,” the gallery’s press representative, Nicoletta Beyer, said. “But at no point have we ever disclosed a sale price for the piece. West had approached Blum & Poe about showcasing the sculpture at the gallery, which represents the artist Takashi Murakami, who designed West’s “Graduation” album cover.
