An art sale in Mexico is attracting a lot of attention. The work for sale was stripped from the walls of Mexico’s failed banks. “The exhibition is the first time many of the works have been displayed publicly since being seized by the government following Mexico’s 1994-95 banking crisis. The auction – part of the government’s efforts to recoup some $100 billion paid to bail out the industry – has sparked a ‘morbid curiosity’.” – Financial Times
