Take the Money and Run

Ole Juncker, Denmark, 2024

80 min.DK/Documentary

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. According to him, it’s no longer a work of art if he returns the
money.
A portrait of a man, that changes the rules of the art world so drastically, that the rest of the world
must ask whether he is crazy or a genius?
