Artists uninterested in wealth.



Christo and Jeanne-Claude, The Umbrellas USA - Japan 1984 - 91

The pair receive no income from sales of books, posters, etc. and pay for all of the expenses of projects from their own money earned with sales of preparatory drawings, sketches, and scale models before a project is started.

Hans Haacke's Voici Alcan

. . . in Voici Alcan (1983), Haacke combined the slick logo of Alcan, a company which provided aluminum products to the South African police and military, with posters of operas Alcan sponsored as well as images of the dead South African activist Stephen Biko. Haacke’s work is blunt and ironical, and refuses anything like aesthetic pleasure.
