Wonga for your Warhol

Web only
Published online 18 Dec 09

Biting satire wings itself to us this weekend courtesy of artist Geoff Hargadon who is set to show 100 mass-produced "Cash for Warhol" posters next month at Montserrat College of Art Gallery in Massachusetts. A jaunty accompanying website, www.cashforyourwarhol.com, promises the following: "We Buy Warhol Fast - Sell Your Warhol Fast!!! No one can help you sell your Warhol fast like Cash For Your Warhol™! Sell your print or painting for cash regardless of the size, price, or condition. Cash For Your Warhol™ has been in business for several months so you can concentrate on moving on with your life." Andy would no doubt have approved of such a cheeky pairing of commerce and culture.
