Jens Haaning's "TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN" artwork features two empty canvases (Credit: Kunsten Museum of Modern Art)

A mirror coated in red paint, a banana stuck to the wall with duct tape, and an invisible sculpture — these are just a few of the abstract artworks that have recently sold for astounding amounts. Now, Dutch artist Jens Haaning has taken the genre to a whole new level. His aptly named "TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN" masterpiece, comprising two empty frames, have set a local museum back 534,000 Danish krone ($84,000)!

      Better take that money and run for your life, cuz there ain't no way you can pay back that 84,000.

        It's a piece of art because of the amount of time it took to make it. Also because there are special patterns if you look closely, and in my opinion it truly is a piece of art.

          It doesn't take much time to make a blank canvas.

                i am a painter (im not famous😁) but thats not how it works you have to actually put PAINT on it to be a PAINTING because a painting has paint on it kinda self explanatory.

                  It's a matter of if it's art, not a matter of if it's a painting.

                  This is not art. he didn't do anything to deserve that type of money. I think its sad that people instead of using money for good they waste it on this.

                    it's not what is on the paper what counts. I could draw a dot and you might say it's no good. But actually, i drew everything! Because a tree is made up of a dot, a dog is made up of a dot, and even an elephant! So, it is the feeling when you create the painting that counts. I think it is amazing.

                      No, a dot isn't art. Art should be beautiful, not a blank canvas. Words can be art, and I'll even say some paint on a canvas is art, but not a dot.
