MEXICO CITY - Can’t afford to pay your income taxes? Paint a picture instead.That’s the deal Mexico has offered to artists since 1957, quietly amassing a modern art collection that would make most museum curators swoon.While April 15 is the deadline to file taxes in the U.S., tax collectors in Mexico are getting ready to receive a whole new crop of masterworks.“It’s really an amazing concept,” said José San Cristóbal Larrea, director of the program. “We’re helping out artists while building a cultural inheritance for the country.”
FUCKING RAD.
