More Information

Postcards From the Edge is a show and sale of original, postcard-sized works on paper by established and emerging artists. Famous in the art world as the most exciting and affordable way to build a collection of work by internationally renowned artists as well as young and emerging artists, all works are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The works are signed on the back and exhibited so the artists' signatures cannot be seen. While buyers have a list of participating artists, they don't know who created which piece until purchased. A collector might end up with a work by a famous artist or someone they don't know yet. Either way, they walk away with a great piece of art while supporting the important work of Visual AIDS.

This exhibition invited 10 artists to produce original works of art, which will be forward to 10 philanthropists at the conclusion of the exhibition. Philanthropy in the arts is an interesting and important topic for critique, and it is our intention that this exhibition will create a platform for thought and dialogue on the matter. The selected recipients of the works of art include: Peter Norton, Agnes Gund, Eli Broad, Ronald Lauder, Leonard Lauder, Donald Marron, Francis Greenburger, Richard Rockefeller, March Avery Cavanaugh and Michael Bloomberg. Artists will be randomly matched to one of these individuals on the evening of the exhibition's opening.

A catalog featuring essays and reproductions of artworks was produced to coincide with this exhibition.

The art work I showed can be seen here: Happy Meals

Harth in "Imaginary Economics: Contemporary Artists and the World of Big Money: Fascinations"

Harth featured in the book Imaginary Economics: Contemporary Artists and the World of Big Money: Fascination

“Imaginary Economics: Contemporary Artists and the World of Big Money: Fascination”

My work, Currency Work is featured in this new book!

A British artist who destroys all of his belongings, a Dutch artist's initiative that charts organization cultures, a Swiss artist who sells his right to participate in an exhibition via an online auction, an American artist who prints his own money and then succeeds in spending it... This book examines the ways in which contemporary artists represent economic processes--no longer merely express their ideas about the market or subsidy systems through the media, but analyze and offer parodies of economic mechanisms in their work. The age of thinking that art has nothing to do with the economy is clearly over. Imaginary Economics has to do with artists who analyze and parody economic processes and phenomena in their work. Aside from well-known figures from twentieth-century art, such as Marcel Duchamp, Yves Klein, Marcel Broodthaers and Joseph Beuys, a great many contemporary artists - including Jeff Koons, Santiago Sierra, Rob Scholte, Michael Landy and Matthieu Laurette - appear to be interested in the economy as well.
Economically inspired art can evidently be seen as a refreshing source of knowledge on our market economy. From an unorthodox vantage point, Olav Velthuis (economics editor of de Volkskrant) sheds new light on the world of big money.
