The Knicks Starting Five Painted on One Dollar Bills

Artist Claire Salvo has painted the starting five of the world champion NY Knicks on a set of US one dollar bills. If you’re in NYC, you may have seen these cheekily pasted up around the city. She’s selling a print of all five bills but is also auctioning off the hand-painted originals. The auction ends in a bit more than 4 days and the top bid currently stands at $3200. See also: The Harriet Tubman $20 Stamp and a discussion of whether such modification of US currency is legal or not. Tags: art · Claire Salvo · NY Knicks · sports
