US EditionA Danish artist who submitted empty frames as artwork is appealing court ruling to repay the cash
- Danish artist Jens Haaning has been ordered by a court to repay over $69,000 to a Danish museum for breaching his contract. Haaning had received the money from the museum two years ago to create an artwork for an exhibition on labor conditions, but instead submitted two empty canvases titled "Take the Money and Run." His lawyer has stated that they are appealing the ruling.
- Haaning kept the money and claimed that the empty canvases represented his current work situation. In addition to the payment for the artwork, the museum also paid him an additional amount for his labor in creating the exhibition. The court ruling determined that Haaning can keep some of the original amount received as an artist's fee.
- The exhibition went ahead with the empty frames, and the court decided that Haaning can keep a portion of the money received. The ruling highlights the breach of contract and the artist's decision to submit empty canvases instead of creating artwork for the exhibition.
