The international (and Brooklyn-based) artist collective Faile piece has put up a new piece on North 6th Street in Williamsburg. The carved wooden post has a spinning top, and chances are someone will try to steal it before long—after all, similar pieces were going for $100,000 at a show last year in London.

I think technically it would not be stealing, as it seems to not be secured, and would probably be considered abandoned as it is something left on the street. In fact, removing it would probably be considered picking up litter.

i live around the corner, im pissing on that thing 2nite

Why? To claim it as your territory so nobody takes it?

Wow, spinning Faile! Win!

For a moment I thought the title said "Spinning Failed Piece".
