The Dispersal
Ralph Lazar paints one ant a day. Each is numbered, and each is for sale at the price of its number.
Ant #1 was £1 and ant #365 will be £365.
Between now and Frieze Week in October, £20,000+ worth of ants from within the numbered series are being left across London for whoever finds them. The drops, listed below, will trace lines across the city, each one timed to a moment in the London art calendar.
Find one, or own one outright.
