He delivered blank canvases and titled them "Take the Money and Run."
- ggm 5y agoThe artist and the museum are in dispute over the purpose of the funding and the work delivered, although I suspect its the kind of dispute which resolves if the value of the work can be confirmed by the wider community participation. On the whole, I think contracts-for-art are tricky. If you drive too hard, you get underwear on the sistine chapel. if you don't drive hard enough you get conceptual art that might not even exist.
