Update: Read our brief interview with Geoff Hargadon, creator of Cash For Your Warhol.
Boston-based Hargo responds to the post-crash impulse to capitalize on art, and highlights the Rose Art Museum debacle.
No one can help you sell your Warhol fast like Cash For Your Warhol™!
Boston-based artist Hargo (a.k.a. Geoff Hargadon) riffs on the street-level advertising signs that have proliferated recently, as lenders prey upon those most hurt by the crisis, offering cash for just about everything from your home to your car. Hargadon tells Groundswell that his intention was to point out that even the richest among us were taken for a ride, and his parody of those predatory signs was an effort to highlight how far-reaching was the impact of the crash and subsequent downturn, and, of course, to pull a street art prank that would ensnare some well-to-do art collectors.
