Action Painting shows the abstractness of our values in society and the art market, as featured artists on one side earn thousands of Euros for small canvases in the galleries and on the other side are prosecuted like terrorists for painting freely without permission. All works presented in this book are no longer existent. Gone for good, washed off the side of the train, sometimes only hours after their creation. What remains is a little photo. A last glimpse of what to create took much skill, courage, determination and the risk of paying big fines or even going to jail for it. The fate of that little photo is often to end up in a shoe box hidden for the constant fear of criminal prosecution.
