BUYING A KOONING

working title

Start kickstarter

(Make a fancy flashy video that explains the project)

Finance a group buy of a single original art piece, preferably well known / famous.

(Edward Hopper's Blackwell's Island is for sale at Christie's, estimated price is 2.5-3.5mil)

Goal of the kickstarter is +- 600.000$

We make a high resolution digital file of the original painting

This image is open source and free for everyone!

We share everything with everyone

Everyone gets the file + We divide the original painting itself into pieces and send it to everyone who has backed as a souvenir

The value of a painting divided into three parts:

Artistic value

Cultural value

Financial value

With this project we remove the financial value of the work whilst keeping it's artistic and cultural value!
