“Untitled”, 2008 by Heimo Zobernig. Polyester, kryptonite, acrylic.
During the last remaining weeks of the year 2000 Jochem Hendricks had his annual income tax calculated. For the profit, remaining after the tax exemt amount as well as the expenses were deducted, Hendricks bought gold. This gold was used to create «Tax» the sculpture and thus could be written off as working material. Thereby Jochem Hendricks’ tax revenue was completely converted into gold and remained in his posession.
