I originally went to art school years ago so when I first saw artist Li Hongbo's busts I thought nice copy but what's the big deal?  Then someone grabbed it and voila and accordion of paper cascades before your eyes and then falls blithely back into the classic art. Amazing, and coveted. His bust of David sold for $32,000.

If you have a few minutes, say 13, watch this video and see the time consuming process that the artist employs to make these paper masterpieces.
