This a collaborative drawing I did with Samuel Morgan last year. We tried to highlight the profit-orientated nature of the contemporary art world. Contrasting the money spent in a single art auction to that of the entire global food aid on a single day. How can the rich spend so much money on art while millions suffer. The global power structure created by the ruling elite keeps the poor in there place and gives ever increasing wealth to the rich. Many of the rich like to buy art. Do artists really want sell their work for blood money?
