This series of
paintings explores how financial factors influence the perception of the artwork.
It visually represents the investment required for a
gallery to present a 20 x 20 x 2 cm. monochrome painting under my authorship at
international art fairs. Each colour allocates
different costs—such as transport, booth fees, and
travel expenses—forming concentric squares around the central canvas. The
inclusion of fruit labels ties art trading to the exchange of other
commodities.
