“Inventory” by Carey Young. The artist was weighed on June 27 2007, the date on which this art work was commissioned.

The total market value of these elements (expressed as a graphic on the wall) plus a print of the calculation data constitute the form of this piece. The calculated market value also represents the initial sale price of this piece.
