so i was going thru the christies catalog, and their is a collection of flavin--which led me to some questions

1) are you buying the object or the concept
2) do you get an unlimited supply of light bulbs for 500 000 dollars
3) is it the same as if it was created or installed by flavin, if it has different light bulbs
b) this is a varration of the hammer puzzle and also do flavins not depend on spec. places--work that he has installed, is it possible to have a flavin when he is not alive
c) if he intended it to be in x and it is now in y, is it in the same peice ?
4) at night, do you unplug the flavin
5) what happens if they do not have the same kind of bulbs as they used to (in the colours spec--i mean what if they discontinue the grass green or the bright red bulbs--they all are commerically availble right ?)

does any of this really matter ?
(note: i love flavin, i think he is impt and beautful, and it has been a deep joy when i have had the honour of seeing them live the few times i have)
