Corcoran Short Sale

"A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the proceeds from selling the property will fall short of the balance of debts secured by liens against the property and the property owner cannot afford to repay the liens' full amounts, whereby the lien holders agree to release their lien on the real estate and accept less than the amount owed on the debt.^[1]"

We are liquidating our inventory!  We are slashing our prices!  We are selling out!

CALL FOR ARTISTS:
1. Pick a piece, any piece, from the Corcoran Collection:
http://collection.corcoran.org/

2.  Reproduce it.  Duplicate it.  Copy it.  "Re-make" it.

3.  Do it in 3 hours or less.

4.  The more unfinished the better, in my book.  Or spend a buncha time on it and make a perfect forgery.  Totally up to you. *

5.  Sign it, ship it, or bring it to the HFA booth on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, and I'll put it on the market for you. 

At the end of the week I will return your piece, along with all offers to purchase your property, back to you. 

6.  Exhibition will be up August 7 - August 13, 2012.  With an Artists' Reception on Saturday, August 11, 2012, from 3:00 - 5:00pm.
