Danish artist delivers empty frames for $84k as low pay protest

Denmark museum of modern art says Jens Haaning's Take the Money and Run violates legal agreement

In an unexpected reinterpretation of an earlier work, a Danish artist has left a museum with empty frames, a depleted bank account and red faces all round.

Rather than applauding Jens Haaning's artistic commentary on modern capitalism, the Kunsten Museum of Modern Art in northern Denmark has said the artist is in violation of a legal agreement - and in possession of more than $84,000 belonging to the institution.
