In this title, celebrated musician and artist Bill Drummond turns his attention to the world of modern art. Several years ago, he bought a photograph by the artist Richard Long for $20,000. After owning it for some time, he decided to cut it up into 20,000 individual pieces, and then sell them off at a dollar a piece. By the time "$20,000" is published in March 2010, Drummond will have sold all 20,000 pieces, and will announce at the Spring 2010 Affordable Art Fair how his relationship to the work of Richard Long, and to the whole canon of modern art, has been shaped by this process. This book tells the whole story of Drummond's relationship with modern art in a typically fascinating and discursive way.
