THE INDEX

Each work is indexed to the price of gold.

Its value is not assigned arbitrarily, but derived from a measurable external reference.

The value of the work is independent from the art market and its speculative dynamics.
It does not follow trends, reputation, or institutional validation.
It follows a material index.

The value evolves continuously over time, following the fluctuations of gold.
Until the moment of acquisition, the price remains unfixed.

At the moment of collection, the value becomes fixed.
This act transforms a fluctuating value into a recorded price.

The collector does not negotiate the price.
They decide when to stop the fluctuation.

Each value reflects a moment.
To collect a work is to capture a specific point in time.

The index rejects arbitrary valuation.
It replaces subjective pricing with a transparent mechanism.

The work exists between two states:
– a fluid value (before collection)
– a fixed value (after collection)

The value is indexed.
The work is signed by the index.

Measurement and imprint coexist.
