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”.

    You do know the whole thing is probably increasing visibility of the museum and could be leveraged for more funding/donations than it would have received from just having typical artwork.

    Sometimes the art is the story. Actually, most of the time the art is the story of how it was made.

      Key word is probably.

      The only story here is a artist who stole money. I’m not arguing over being paid to make art and providing a blank canvas. I’m referring to the money that is supposed to be returned at the end of the contract.
