Now, Dutch artist Jens Haaning has taken the genre to a whole new level. His appropriately named “TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN ” masterpiece, consisting of two empty frames, has set a local museum back $ 84,000! Earlier this year, the Kunsten Museum in Aalborg appointed Haaning to create two pieces for their coming “Work It Out” exhibit. According to their written agreement, the artist would use the $ 84,000 lent to him by the museum to reproduce two of his previous artworks about labor. The first, An Average Austrian Year Income, displayed euro bills on a canvas ( 画布) in a framework, while the second, focusing on Danish incomes, did the same using krone notes. But when the museum opened the boxes the artist sent before the exhibit􀆳s opening on September 24, 2021, they found two blank frameworks titled “ TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN” . The museum officials admit that Haaning􀆳s artwork is unique. But museum director Lasse Andersen expects the artist to fulfill his contractual (合同的) duty and return the money when the exhibition ends. “ I absolutely want to give Haaning the right to say that a new work has been created in its own right, which actually comments on the exhibition we have,” Andersen told Danish radio. “But that is not the agreement we had. ”
