Notes on the New Art Exhibition - draft1

The signature is worth more than the other 99% of the piece.
The cost ratio of signature to rest of piece is 99:1.
The exhibition in the gallery is comprised of seven sculptures, each facing into the centre of the room.
Eyes are drawn to the prices, situated below the name of the sculptor and the title of the piece in a font equally sized.
The display says that each piece represents a different facet of human emotion.
There is more feeling in the small wooden bench in the centre of the room which manages to face all the pieces simultaneously.
If eyes were drawn on the sculptures they in turn would see the bench.
The emotional pieces are inspired by acts of vandalism on public property and postcards can be purchased at the gift shop so that visitors can share their experiences with friends and colleagues.
The postcard stand was knocked over once by a delinquent exiting through the gift shop, who was then dealt with appropriately by security.
Art is taught frequently in prisons as it is seen as both practical and therapeutic.
99% of the general population do not work as artists.
There are many benches in prisons, some of which have been vandalised.
An artist could vandalise public property by writing their name on it without permission.
The item could then be sold at an extensively marked up price.
The prized tag is the price tag.
How many artists are imprisoned?
What percentage of the prison population are artists?
What percentage of the general population are prisoners?
