A new addition to Billy Apple's transaction series






In 2005 Minter Ellison Rudd Watts advanced Billy Apple $100,000 credit for legal services for an artwork staged as a site-specific wall painting in the firm's reception area. Five years and one Top Up later the project has evolved into the exhibition Billy Apple®: $23,610 Top Up, a new addition to the artist's list of transactions dating back to Art For Sale, 1981. You can read the release for this Starkwhite exhibition presented in the foyer and reception areas of Minter Ellison's Auckland offices here.
