The best part of this former art is how it makes me smile without even seeing it. I wonder how the value would’ve adjusted if they hadn’t lost or museum hadn’t sued to begin with. Not surprised the court ruled for the museum, though. The art world’s weird; a Banksy gets shredding and becomes more valuable because of it.
I mean it captures the antiestablishment spirit that’s in a lot of it, but this artist essentially commited fraud, so not the fairest light to shine on the rest of them.

Ok but the guy who gave them “Take the money and run” got sued.
Did they pay out? How much money did he drop while running?
It was an artist who took 67,000 euro or something to provide a set of paintings for an exhibition, gave them blank canvases and called it that.
Thats interesting, do you have a link?

I know, I took it to be a perfect representation of this part of the artworld.

I’d say he’s the only one to do it honestly.
