A Danish court on Monday ordered an artist to refund a museum which gave him 70,000 euros (RM351,000) in cash to incorporate into artworks and he delivered blank canvasses entitled Take the Money And Run.
Jens Haaning was commissioned by the Kunsten Museum in the western city of Aalborg to reproduce two works using the cash - Danish kroner and euros - to represent the annual salary in Denmark and Austria.
