Don't know if you have heard about the Secret Art exhibition on at the moment... I have always loved them but can't get this year... The exhibition is of postcard size pieces of art... all at £35... thing is they are by all sorts of people from amateur/first time artists to the top names in art... the signature is on the back so when you choose your piece you do not know who it is by!
I love this idea, not only does it give everyone a chance to own a Hockney or a Hirst, but it also debunks some of the snobbery of the art intelligencia! To see them confidently picking out a "name" piece only to find it was made by a member of the croydon amateur painting club... You have to laugh!

You can view the card online there too... some example below ...
Hi Mark - is there anything online about this anywhere?
