During a happening that took place from 11-20 September 1992, Thomas Huber delivered a speech entitled ‘Die Bank. Eine Wertvorstellung’ [The Bank. A value proposition]. The artist questions the function of banks within a system of values that has become the ‘verbindlichste Medium unseres täglichen Lebens’ [most binding medium of our daily life]. In that regard, Huber proposes to stimulate banks to buy more works of art as an investment. In so doing, the symbol of ‘The Smell of Money’ that is usually attributed to banknotes, would be transferred to the quality of images. Condition: The photograph on ACP is in overall good condition. There are only occasional insignificant bumps to corners and edges. Thomas Huber (b. 1955) Thomas Huber was born in Zurich.
