I admit, no... and I'm not suggesting they could have done it with $150 in stuff from Home Depot. but I refuse to believe that that statue couldn't have been covered up in an appropriate way (i.e. no thumbtacks in the historic wood paneling) for much less then $8,000.
Of course, it takes somebody who will say, "You know, $8,000 is an awful lot to pay to accomplish this.. maybe we should see if we can bring it in for less."
