Rich Art Shoppers Flex their Bank Account Balance PUBLICLY to Make the 'Leaderboard'

How stupid do you need to be to publicly announce for all to see how much you have available? Criminals must love this place!

At art fairs, gallerists have the difficult job of sizing up each person who comes by their booth and trying to answer a simple question: exactly how much money does this person have? But with a new work by the Brooklyn based art collective MSCHF, presented by Perrotin, the guesswork is taken out of the equation. Anyone who wants can approach an ATM that MSCHF set up at the booth and reveal their bank account balance.

ATM Leaderboard (2022) is an ATM that MSCHF acquired from an ATM manufacturing company, but then retrofitted with a screen emblazoned with the word “leaderboard” and a camera. When someone inserts their debit card and plugs in their pin, the camera takes a picture as the account balance flashes on the screen and an animation spins around, declaring the participant well endowed or…not so much. When this ARTnews journalist put her card in, an animation of a toilet stuffed with money popped up with big blue letters telling me, “BYE!”
