A Danish artist has been ordered to return nearly 500,000 kroner (€67,000) to a museum after he supplied it with two blank canvasses for a project he named “Take the Money and Run”.

    Seems like the obvious extension of Klein’s monochromes.

    The artist need not actually furnish the canvas with paint, for if we truly appreciate art we find that we carry the impression of painting within us. If you cannot appreciate this work, you must be lacking in imagination and vision, and therefore what right have you to judge the artist?

    Also, props to the artist for creating the most unforgeable painting in history… or the most easily forgeable, depending on how you look at it.
