Literature
IOU records the artist owing the collector $187.50, redeemable on demand. The collector then invested further in framing IOU, to the artist’s specifications, confirming the transaction was not only about debt, but more importantly art. The collector’s dilemma: to recover the debt or gamble it would be worth more as a work of art. The time has come to find out.
