About Daniel Arsham:
Daniel Arsham is a New York based artist whose practice spans fine art, architecture, performance, and film. Arsham’s iconic works meld the past, present and future, showcasing the malleability and power of nostalgia, often through references to moments of the late 20th century. Eroded casts of modern artifacts and contemporary human figures, his works are crafted out of geological material such as sand, selenite and volcanic ash. These materials allow for the appearance and aesthetic of erosion or archeological, future relics, as Arsham has dubbed them. Arsham has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Orange County Museum of Art, Musée Guimet, Paris, France; UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Dune, China; MOCO Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; HOW Museum, Shanghai, China; The Cranbrook Art Museum, Detroit, Michigan; and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia, USA; among others. Arsham’s works have been exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria Triennial, Melbourne, Australia; The Athens Biennale in Athens, Greece; Musée Fenaille, Rodez, Carré d’Art de Nîmes, and Paris La Défense, France; Frieze Sculpture, London, U.K.; The Athens Biennale in Athens, Greece; and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas, SCAD Museum, Savannah, Georgia, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the New Museum and MoMA PS1, New York, USA; among others.

Very cool. Apparently the artist is a pretty big deal in the art world... he has 1.5m followers on IG if that means anything.

Seems like he's a nice guy at the poker table:
 
First off, no shade on someone creating a poker chip set / product. It's a fun medium to play with! And people just might buy it. Probably not chippers, but there's an audience. I suspect it's mostly people buying it as a gift for someone who they think will appreciate it (hey, Mike plays poker, let's get Mike a fancy set of chips!)

Reminds me of other 'designer' / artists who create a novelty poker chip set. Do the chip counts make sense? Can you tell the chips apart? You're probably missing the point if you're asking those questions since you're someone who knows poker chip sets, and you're not the target market.

Again, no shade on your sale! Arsham has created a badass aluminum case and there's someone out there who will love this set.
 
No its still sealed but I can open it up and take some more photos if there is interest
Not advocating that you open it since you could lose 'value,' but I'd say its hard for anyone to buy something for $2,500 without seeing whats inside.

On that note - don't open it on my behalf, its not what I'm looking for.
