Artist Ordered to Repay Museum for Blank Canvases Titled "Take the Money and Run"

Danish artist Jens Haaning was given $84,000 by a museum to create artwork using real money, but instead, he pocketed the cash and turned in two blank canvases titled "Take the Money and Run." After a legal battle, Haaning has been ordered to refund the court $70,623. The artist's stunt aimed to question artists' rights and working conditions in the art industry. The incident is reminiscent of similar art antics by Banksy and other artists that have made headlines in recent years.
