Conventional art: This painting is not in blood, though. Photo/FILE

As of 2005 however eBay took down any blood art sold online. It will not participate in the sale of body parts be they liquefied or otherwise.

This was more so about works of art inspired by the thinking after 9/11. The blood was meant to symbolise the “victims, violators and voyeurs observed by the impartial artist, traumatised by the passionate religious/extremist acts of violence since 9/11.”

Sensational to say the least; enough to intensify not just the media interest but the general public’s as well. Perhaps if Van Gogh had unleashed several rusty shades of copper on his easel and declared them a result of his bleeding ear, who knows. He and the rest of the art connoisseurs might just be a few millions richer.
