The image shows octagonal shapes and horizontal rectangular bars arranged in an abstract collage. The shapes resemble signage or auction lot tags, each containing text and numbers like those found in an art auction catalog. The names Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock appear, along with price figures. Some shapes include graphical representations such as a figure resembling Michael Jackson with a monkey, cans similar to Warhol's Campbell's soup can art, and architectural features like those seen in Lichtenstein's work. The composition pays tribute to contemporary art and its market value.
