"I like money on the wall. Say you were going to buy a $200,000 painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and hang it on the wall. Ten when someone visited you, the first thing they would see is the money on the wall." --Andy Warhol
Hans-Peter Feldmann put $100,000 on the wall at the Guggenheim. That's only half of what Andy recommended. A casino in Las Vegas has had a million dollars on display for most of the past 60 years. But that million is encased in acrylic, not tacked to the wall, so it doesn't look quite as cool.
I have a smaller budget, but I'm considering trying out Warhol's plan and displaying a few hundred bucks in my living room. What do you think?
