What say you, good sir or madam, for a Shaun Gladwell work? That’s right, a Shaun Gladwell, world renowned contemporary artist, one time Australian representative at the Venice Biennale, recently seen riding his bike in the desert with Edmund Capon in the latter’s recent TV serial? $10,000? $5,000? How about I tell you can pick one up for a mere $200. That’s right. Two hundred bucks – cheaper than a speeding ticket or a fine for driving your car unregistered! It’s a conversation starter, a curiosity, something to tell your friends about… If that doesn’t interest you there are plenty more – Vernon Ah Kee, Guan Wei, Lindy Lee, Reuben Patterson? No? How about a Tony Schwensen? The bloke who once blew off an entire audience with a leaf blower? All for $200 each!
