Take the Money and Run
Ole Juncker, 2024
When a Danish Museum gives $83,000 to an artist to reproduce a pair of works displaying the cash, reflecting the annual income of workers, he gets the idea to create a new art piece that focuses on the
poor working conditions of artists. He delivers two empty frames with blank canvases without a scrap of currency in sight and calls the work "Take the Money and Run”. The work becomes a world
sensation, but the museum wants their money back and is threatening to sue the artist, who is unable and unwilling to pay back the money.
