Is the deaccessioning debate the same when valuable art is not involved?
José-María Cano's "wax" works roll into London next week when an exhibition of the Madrid-born artist's arresting effigies open at the Riflemaker Dairy (9 November-5 December). Cano's reproductions of newspaper cuttings painted in heated wax have hit the headlines in Moscow, Madrid and Prague. "'The Wall Street 100', one hundred large paraffin wax portraits feature Kate Moss, Barack Obama, Rupert Murdoch, Bernard Madoff and others...[with] each selected for their perceived level of global economic power," says the pr blurb. So all hail supermodel Ms Moss who, in the eyes of Cano, is evidently on a par with the most powerful man in the world.
