Hi,
I am attaching a link to another "if that don't beat all" type story. Don't know why Andy Warhol, who spent so much uplifting the lowly Campbell soup can, didn't think of this.
It's seems a student pursuing an art degree worked her way through school by cleaning private homes. The story doesn't indicate whether she was short on dough for paint or clay but clearly states that María Adelaida López used vacuum sweepings to make sulptures. Her The Johnsons and the Ramirezes piece is the second image displayed if you click on "More Photos" once you reach the site. the story also says that friends continue mail her lint and the like so I'd suggest -- don't dump that vacuum bag! Mail it to Miami. BUT . . .
My question is -- who gets the royalty? The artist or the person whose rug the dust came out of?
