William Powhida, various literary pranks
Giving credence to the view that art collecting is tantamount to ownership/
colonization/control, several collectors, whom he’s characterized in a bad light, retaliate by purchasing his drawings. The infamous Greek art collector Dakis Joannou, a primary antagonist in Powhida’s New Museum drawing, purchased this drawing’s digital print version for $1500, while Jerry Saltz, a regular Powhida target, told one reporter, “It’s always fun to see bigwigs get bitch-slapped, including me!”
