The only piece
of art on the moon (depending, we suppose, on ones definition of
art) is a 3"-tall aluminum sculpture titled Fallen Astronaut.
It was created by Belgian artist Paul Van Hoeydonck and installed
by Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott, along with a plaque bearing the
names of the 14 astronauts and cosmonauts who died in the service
of space exploration.
In 1972, against the crew and NASAs wishes, Van Hoeydonck created
950 signed replicas of Fallen Astronaut and sold them for $750 a
piece.
