TL;DR Summary

Danish artist Jens Haaning, known for his conceptual art focusing on power and inequality, has been ordered by a court to repay funds he received from the Kunsten Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. Haaning was commissioned to recreate two earlier works using banknotes, but instead submitted empty frames titled "Take the Money and Run." The museum took legal action after Haaning refused to return the money, and the court ruled that he must repay the loaned funds but should still receive his artist's fee.
