  Money Paintings - Euro Series
anthony whiteThe Australian artist Anthony White has started work on the Euro series of paintings. After the success of his USD, AUD, and Pound series of money, he expects similar interest in the Euros series.

He hasn't officially launched the series yet, but reservations can be put on works. He talked more about his money paintings in our interview recently, but it basically works like this;
Each painting is sold for the value that is painted on it (11 Euro costs 11 Euro to buy), only one of each number is painted, numbers are painted in order, and can only be purchased when he gets up to the number. Paintings can be reserved, but you have to wait until the paintings before your number are painted and sold.

I've reserved the 7 Euros, which makes me pretty lucky I guess, as the first 40 Euros seem to be mostly reserved already. Anthony says the Euro money paintings series will be officially launched on the first of July.

Where do they find these people?
 
But what will you buy for those 7 Euros on the painting ? Maybe a good brush ? ;-)
 
7 Euros doesnt buy very much at all these days. Getting a painting on stretched canvas that is ready to hang sounds like a bargain to me.
 
There's another painter online doing something similar. The guy has a "one thousand paintings" money series.
They look computer generated but they are selling well according to his website.
www.onethousandpaintings.com

It's an interesting idea I guess.
