Hedge Fund – the artist who did an economics degree

Hedge Fund is an artist who took the unusual route of training as an economist. ‘My background is a little uncommon for a fine artist. But I think that an economics degree is a perfect training ground for an artist. After all, the Phillips Curve tells you all you need to know about the art world.’ Hedge’s work is the latest in a line of pop art going back through Lichtenstein, Warhol and all the British Pop artists that are less famous.

Expensive doesn’t begin to describe Hedge Fund’s work, an artist who once said I don’t get out of bed for less than fifty grand. Visit our enquiry page if you are interested in buying a piece or would like Hedge making an artwork for you. (Be warned, he only takes on a few commissions every year. Preferring to work on his private art projects, commissions have to be interesting or absurdly well remunerated for him to be interested.)
