From the paintings of Ad Reinhardt to the controversial work of Turner Prize-winner and premium spack-burbler Martin Creed, minimalist art has shrunk, shriveled and disappeared over the last 50 years. Taking the trend down a notch is Brent Hendrix, whose method improves upon the lessons learnt by past masters of the minimal:
Brent Hendrix steals his own work, usually moments after it goes on display. Speaking in today’s newspaper about the recent self-theft of his new work, he says:
‘It’s a real shame - the work was my best so far, it was a 3D collage made from hair, tinfoil, rhodedendrons and a Buick. It took me 6 years to make, but soon after I put it in the gallery yesterday, I stole it. It’s a travesty, I know. I mean, you would have thought I could have, like, not stolen it… but there we go. Back to the drawing board, I guess.’
Hendrix is making a public appeal to himself, offering a handsome reward for the swift return of the piece.
