A group of petulant artists have launched a #DearIvanka hashtag campaign to protest the woman over her fathers 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 Ivankas 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 groups website reads:
Dear Ivanka,
Racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and homophobia are not acceptable anywhereleast 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 dont feel safe, one card reads.
The Instagram contains dozens of posts shaming the mother-of-three over her fathers 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.
Shouldn't these bakers er 'artists' be forced by law to created MAGA-themed art, if that's what the customers want?
More like this hotel perhaps:
Either way, I agree with his recommendation. His work is hideous in my opinion.
Actually, this is a brilliant attempt at self-promotion.
All the crazy virtue-signalling Leftards will be desperate to own his art, now!

She should offer to sell it back to them at 5X what she paid for it. If they won’t buy it back (which they won’t, because they’ve already snorted the money) then she should buy herself some new art, deface their art (she can whatever she wants with what she owns), and post it.
Halt Action Group? Looks like HAG to me - appropriate.
Put it in the Oval Office.
Take pictures of it with Trump at the desk.
Make the pictures public.
Then donate the proceeds to a Wounded Veterans charitable organization.
The title says it all — Artist had no problem taking her money but now wants her to remove the painting. What a tool. Any future purchaser of this idiot’s “art” should remember this.
Between this and the liberal lunatic who accosted her on the plane, I hope Ivanka is rethinking her Leftist leanings.
Last year every one of these snowflakes would have eagerly been part of her entourage. She had been an “A-lister” for years.
Or, offer the art back to the artists, but for more money than she paid for the stuff. Then we will see how much they value their product.
One last idea is that once the artist sells his product, he no longer owns it. The buyer owns it and can do what they will with it.
Aw. Precious little snowflake.
I’d burn it.
I’d just say that it is for sale for million and he’s welcome to it.
Sorry bud, when you came to terms when she bought it, you voluntarily relinquished the ownership of your work.
The opposite of love is NOT hate.
The opposite of love is indifference.
The proper response to this nonsense is to ignore it. Any action at all validates their complaints and their status. It suggests they have the right to open this issue and opine. They have no such moral right.
Sadly there appears to be an inverse relationship between talent and intelligence. Many actors and musicians I enjoy are leftists. Usually I don’t find out until later. But I won’t all of a sudden stop enjoying their art because of their politics.
This election proved Americans don’t listen to celebrities. That is the proper response. Don’t listen.
Isn't he the guy who did "Piss Christ"? And he has the nerve to speak about embarrassment!
you beat me to it,
Ping
Why did she ever buy junk art by this creep ?
