    He broke the deal because that’s not was agreed upon, he was supposed to make an artwork comparing incomes between rich and poor but just stole the money which was intended to be part of the artwork.

    He was not hired to make “take the money and run”

      You must have a different source then the one above because i see nothing about about the exact topic being part of the deal.

      If that is the case then i see your point (though i think there is wiggle room left to argue that such topic was included, it would need to be the artist themselves to do the creative arguing)

      An artists chose to steal money from a rich museum. That’s art commenting on wealth inequality imo…

          Idk, not all theft is evil and SHOULD be punished. Stealing food when hungry, stealing back from the capitalist class, funny theft… yeah.
