So the museum made much more money thanks to the publicity but is still demanding their money back?

[-] tomten@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

They gave the artist a bunch of money that was supposed to be used in the piece and was to be returned once done. It wasnt used nor returned.

Yeah but the art piece he did produce was much better

[-] Lols@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

its a breach of contract regardless

It makes a statement.

I argue the money was used in the piece. The fact that it was missing from the canvas was part of the artistic statement.

[-] tomten@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sure but it was supposed to be returned either way
