Van Gogh’s sunflowers has been recreated with £1,000 worth of loose change.
Artist Rose Finn-Kelcey’s 1987 work Bureau De Change laid out the coins in the pattern of the iconic painting and featured an actor playing a security guard, with CCTV watching over the scene.
It has now been restaged for the show at Tate Britain to coincide with the blockbuster Van Gogh exhibition at the gallery. The work was inspired by the £24.8 million sale of Sunflowers in the same year.
Finn-Kelcey, who died in 2014, made her name with activist art. Van Gogh And Britain traces the three years the artist spent in London.
