I don't get why it's a "slap in the face of collectors" for him to sell off an ugly piece, of which only one was made. No collector I know said, "Gee I wish they'd made more of those," or, "Gee I would have loved to have been able to buy one of those."

To me it's more of a slap in the face to good taste in general that it was even designed by/for him . . . but IMHO TB12's taste is fairly typical of "new money bros."

As the owner of a unique piece to my own design I cannot fathom why one would sell it, I would be selling a kidney before I sell mine irrespective of any financial plight or other disaster I might face. Assuming he did design it (and therefore one assumes likes it, irrespective of the views of anyone else who has full use of their eyes), and he certainly doesn’t need the money so there must be more to the story.
