Artists Conceptions of Money (e-Book)

In this book eighty money-artists are presented. In the past some old masters and modern ones used to make money the subject of their works of art. Beside using money as a source of inspiration, they expressed their views on the meaning of money in their artworks as well. Nowadays a growing number of contemporary artists are producing art in which they critically comment on the meaning of money in our present financialized society. Their artistic comments are useful eye-openers to reconsider the meaning and role of money in modern society.

In 2016 Money is a Mind Thing - On Symbols of Value appeared at Aspekt publishers. He was a lecturer in economics i.a. at the HES Amsterdam School of Business.
