Penny I invested in bust we chose, artwork on display (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

showpiece

'artwork on display' is the definition.
(piece of work shown in a display)

'penny i invested in bust we chose' is the wordplay.
'penny' becomes 'p' (short for pence).
'invested in' is an insertion indicator.
'bust' is an anagram indicator.
'p'+'i'='pi'
'we'+'chose'='wechose'
'wechose' anagrammed gives 'showece'.
'pi' going into 'showece' is 'SHOWPIECE'.

(Other definitions for showpiece that I've seen before include "Impressive exhibit" , "flagship" , "especially fine example" , "shining example" , "good example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
