"‘Take the Money and Run’ artist ordered to repay museum after submitting blank canvases".
A Danish artist has been ordered to repay a museum after running off with its money upon being commissioned to create a piece of artwork but instead submitted two empty canvases titled “Take the Money and Run.”
Truth to tell, I think a lot of modern art is based on the idea of "take the money and run".
You mean he didn't even duct tape a banana to a wall?
ReplyDeleteJeez. What a fraud.
Just consider all the gullible fools who stand there looking at it and thinking that's real art. I have less respect for them than I do for the con artist.

ReplyDeleteJust think, if Michealangelo had known about this method of producing art, he could have saved a ton of time and effort with his statue of David!
Just deliver a big block of marble and say "Here it is, along with the useless contract."
Was the artist's name IKEA?
ReplyDeletePlease don't disparage those meatballs.
DeleteI don't see him as a con artist, Rebecca. He delivered what he advertised.
ReplyDeleteIt's the fools who don't appreciate art that should hang their heads in shame.
The spirit of Piero Manzoni lives on.
