The Art of corruption on eBay:
When Art is a stab to the Power 56 Italian politicians on sale on eBay.
Among personal computers, accessories, mobiles and
bricolage, you will find, on one of the most renown international websites for online sales, 50
portraits of as many Italian inquired members of the Parliament and still in office, touched-up
and presented in golden frames. The exceptional proposal is completed by the pictures of
those Ministries for Culture (Sandro Bondi, Rocco, Buttiglione, Giancarlo Galan, Lorenzo
Ornaghi, Francesco Rutelli, Giuliano Urbani) that, according to
CAM, in the last ten years
contributed to the degradation of the Italian Cultural politics, to the demolition of the cultural tissue,
to halve the funding, to the negligence of that patrimony that Europe envies to us, to the
abandonment of archeological sites, to personal favoritism and patronage instead of competence.
Due to the Italian politics context the museum in Casoria is forced to sell the above mentioned
works with a special discount and online auctions at the basic price of 5 euros each.
