Refreshed AGNSW Donation Box: 12:20pm
Already I feel a new acquisition coming on: 2:05pmThe Artswipe's last post lamented how hard it is to save up for a quality art collection (even one consisting of editioned multiples). Today I visited the Art Gallery of NSW and realised I had it all wrong. The key to saving for an artwork is in the kind of money box you use. No longer will I keep that little silver shoe pewter money box (a gift from Godmother Ella when I was still stewing in the womb) in the second drawer of my bedside table where it occasionally gets a deposit of spare change left over after buying my weekly smack supply. I am going to abandon the old shoe and install a perspex box just near the front door of my apartment. As you enter or leave - depending on whether you are coming or going in your tastes - feed that good old silver and gold to the new Artswipe Donation Box.
To nominate what you think The Artswipe's first donation funded acquisition should be, leave a comment and tell the world.

art should come in showbags
Artwsipe, you rock me. Don't buy art just steal from museums it is all the rage. I would steal the disabled hand rails from all museum toilets, weld them toegther and pretend I have a Sean Cordearo and Claire Healey if I was you.
Top of Oxford Street, near the mall there are some portraits in a barber shop window. Kow the ones I'm talking about? Hope so.

Oops.. I got excited and forgot the point of this exercise, ...maybe you could close your eyes and point to one on the list? I was just getting started.

I like Prudencia Murphy's pube collection box. Pubes are better than money.
