A masterpiece not taught in Art Hum

Want to invest in some awesome, contemporary art at a price a college student can afford? Well, look no further than the impromptu stand set up yesterday afternoon in front of Pinkberry, on Broadway between 111th and 112th streets. A work of art costs a mere 10¢ as drawn with markers by the brother-and-sister pair—aged 5 and 8, respectively—who live in the neighborhood.

Spectator took a few cents out of its budget to commission a portrait. The artists are to be commended for their strikingly accurate depiction of this editor’s unshaven face:

Feeling generous, the future van Goghs threw in a free paper airplane. They said they particularly enjoy making the airplanes as well as paper dolls. If you’re away from the Morningside area today, don’t worry—they’ll be back today, in front of the Heights, they said.
