Show Me the Money: The Image of Finance 1700 to the Present poses the question, what does money really stand for, and how can ‘the market’ and the world of finance be made visible? The exhibition features work ranging from satirical eighteenth-century prints by William Hogarth, to newly commissioned pieces by a selection of contemporary artists in an array of media: paintings, prints, photographs and videos.
In Hampshire, Show Me the Money will be shown simultaneously across John Hansard Gallery and Chawton House Library, the latter once owned by Jane Austen’s brother, himself implicated in a financial scandal.
