Say “What!?”- Art Student Hangs Own Painting in Museum
Talk about controlling your own destiny. This guy pulled off some Mission Impossible stuff... well kind of.
Art student Andrzej Sobiepan covertly hung one of his own paintings in a major Polish gallery. He told a local news station:
I decided that I will not wait 30 or 40 years for my works to appear at a place like this, I want to benefit from them in the here and now."
He hung up his painting in the contemporary art room when a guard was looking the other way and it stayed there unnoticed for three days. The Museum director stated that it it revealed some security breaches but considers it a "witty, artistic happening."
The museum has decided to keep the painting on display in their cafe until it goes on sale this Sunday for a charity auction.
