An art fair takes place in Miami, United States. The fair takes place every year. VIP guests come to the opening night. Something unusual happens.

A woman touches one sculpture with her finger. The sculpture falls to the ground and breaks into pieces. The sculpture is a Balloon Dog sculpture. It costs 42,000 dollars. US artist Jeff Koons makes the sculpture. His Balloon Dog sculptures are very famous and popular. There are 798 pieces. They are very expensive. Some are 3 meters high. The broken sculpture is 40 centimeters high.

A local artist wants to buy the sculpture. He says that it has an interesting story.

Difficult words: art fair (an event in which people can look at art objects), opening night (the first night of an event), local (living in the place or area which we talk about).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Who buys the sculpture?
