How much would you pay for packing tape?
Sent by Jonathan Stark on July 19th, 2019
Tonight while making giant balled-up wads of Scotch tape to stick all over our living room furniture, my 5yo randomly strung together the two words “tape” and “art”.
My initial reaction was, “Huh… I wonder if ‘tape art’ is a niche?”
/me googles for 2 seconds
Yep, of COURSE tape art is a niche. Amsterdam artist Max Zorn sells packing tape for about $2,000 per square foot.
Check out the CBS News feature video on his home page:
$20,000 per piece. Featured on CBS News. Packing tape.
Still think you can’t specialize?
