A group of petulant artists have launched a #DearIvanka hashtag campaign to protest the woman over her father’s politics, and one is even demanding that she remove their art, which she purchased, from the walls of her home.
A group of New York artists have banded together to harass the business woman, while calling themselves the “Halt Action Group.”
“Dear @Ivankatrump please get my work off of your walls. I am embarrassed to be seen with you,” Philadelphia artist Alex Da Corte commented on a photo on Ivanka’s Instagram account, which featured Ivanka, an avid art collector, next to one of his paintings. The artist apparently had no problem accepting the money from this sale previously.
The group’s website reads:
Dear Ivanka,
Racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and homophobia are not acceptable anywhere—least of all in the White House.
Steve Bannon has no place in the White House. Jeff Sessions has no place in the White House. Talk of a Muslim registry has no place in the White House.
Hate has no place in the White House.
We refuse to “wait and see”. We look to you as the voice of reason.
Yours,
Halt Action Group
Founded by curator Alison Gingeras, dealer Bill Powers, and artist Jonathan Horowitz, the group has been attacking Ivanka over the perceived sins of her father.
On November 28, the group even organized 500 people to protest outside the building where the soon-to-be First Daughter lives with her husband Jared Kushner and their young children. The demonstrators carried cheesy signs with slogans such as “Dear Ivanka, your daddy is scary as hell.” The demonstration concluded with a candlelight vigil.
The Halt Action Group has also been collecting cards from people beginning with “Dear Ivanka,” and posting them to their instagram account — which has accumulated over 15,000 followers.
“I am a Muslim American Immigrant and I don’t feel safe,” one card reads.
The Instagram contains dozens of posts shaming the mother-of-three over her father’s presidency, but is apparently some how not violating their anti-bullying policy.
We have reached out to Instagram for comment on why the account has not been disabled due to the harassment, but did not receive a reply by time of publication.
While she owns the painting by Alex Da Corte fair and square, perhaps she should consider taking it down anyways — as his work looks like it belongs in a discount room at the Holiday Inn.
Make him buy it back for $10X.
Tell him you took it down and used it in place of TP.
I don’t think you grow up to be Ivanka without learning how to effectively deal with jerks.
She owns it and can display it(or burn it for that matter.) It’s her property. Perhaps she might offer to sell it back to him for 10X the purchase price. Let’s see just how badly he wants it taken down.
I looked at his “art”. At best it could be called 3rd grade decoration. but I wouldn’t call it “art”. I guess Ivanka is still young and confuses unusual and bright colors with “art”.
Wow you beat me to the exact figure in my post. Good job!
Put a label under each one:
“Sold by the prostitute Alex Da Corte”
Change names as required.
He’s just a con artist who thinks he can generate interest on the left by attacking Trump. Its just a money move.
Stages of grief
Because Ivanka now owns it, it’s worth more.
How about “Piss Alex Da Corte”, with his paintings in a jar of urine? Sell it as a statement...
simple. video tape the piece being thrown into the fireplace. all of them.
Post a phone number for their “art purchases”...
Let’s call them and pretend to order stuff...
Ivanka needs to leave the ‘art’ (and I say that very loosely) where it is, she bought it, he doesn't like it then he shouldn't be willing to sell his ‘product’...period!!!
I get so sick of these people calling the Trump Family racists. It is absolutely NOT true but they try to spread these lies anyway.
The media is responsible for this and all the mess with trying to disrupt this election by spreading these lies and deceptions.
The media is in serious need of some comeuppance. Bankrupting this corrupt media, even at the local level, should be job #1 for American citizens.
CGato
I think she should offer to sell it back to them for what she paid
If they don’t buy it back (they won’t) then she should auction it off and donate the proceeds to wounded veterans
The auction prices should dictate the true value of their crappy art
NO WAY would I continue to own or display art by these people
She ought to put a torch to it while video taping it...
and ditto with ANY art by these people at ANY Trump property anywhere in the world
