The Art Dealer, 2008
Performance

Artist's statement:
"Everything has the potential to be ruined by greed and art is no exception. I believe that art should be publicly enjoyed and not confined to private collections. The pig in this piece represents the art dealer, buyer or collector - drunk on wealth and armed with a chequebook. He tried to buy everything in sight, but failed magnificently - a triumph for art! If only just this once."
