$200,000 art or Queen for a day

Queen-sized, button tufted, clear vinyl bed containing shredded US currency. The weight of this currency stuffing is equal to the average weight of $200,000 according to regulatory standards set by the U.S. Treasury for currency destruction and residue reuse.
Accompanied with and aluminum foil wrapped wall box with quote by Andy Warhol, "I like the idea of money on the wall. Say you were going to buy a $200,000 painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and hang it on the wall." Signed Andy Warhol.
I constructed this cursive script and signature from early Warhol advertisements. Ostensibly, Warhol liked his mother’s handwriting and used it in his early commercial illustration and for his signature.
