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.
Maybe she could lend it to a place that displays Andy Warhol’s “oxidation” “paintings” for the duration of her father’s administration(s)?
Funny how all of these deranged anti-Trumpers had no problem with him prior to his running for office. Their shallowness has not gone unnoticed. And their hypocrisy for not going after Hillary’s rapist husband with all the snowflake fury they can muster has also not gone unnoticed.
May they end up with ulcers as a direct result of their faux outrage and drama.
Have a lawn sale with a sign: “Nothing more than $5”. Put the art next to some old kitchen utensils.
Make these douchebags famous by listing their names in the title of the bill that completely bans any and all federal funds from “arts and entertainment”.
Great idea. Probably a little rough, though...
“”I am a Muslim American Immigrant and I don’t feel safe”, one card reads.””
Tough!! I’m a BAPTIST American and I don’t feel safe with Muslim American immigrants!!! Someone suggested earlier today that she put all the art in question up for sale in a garage sale - rock bottom prices... What value to your art do you have then, you creeps! Probably subsidized by the taxpayers anyway.. We all know how important their work is. Hopefully with these attacks against the daughter of our president, he’ll see to it that funds for the “arts” are TOTALLY ELIMINATED! That might make them decide that they should have played nicer with their neighbors - or patrons!
So..Ivanka knows who to target when she auctions off their trash.
But, she'll have to be careful to donate only to causes hated by the left, any perception of "good" coming from the action-reaction cycle would give them grounds for hailing this silliness as a huge win.
(Based on the photo: If she really, really, likes the stuff she could have some paint mixed up to match the "art", then find any handy 9 year old to smear his or her own design on canvas in those tones...then sell off the originals or donate them to charity & valued at the cost of paint.)
1. Donate the painting to a charity.
2. Take the purchase price as a tax write-off.
3. Laugh all the way to the bank.
4. Never buy anything by this yutz again.
These leftists are getting more pathetic and deranged every day.
The Democrat Thug Party.
Generation Snowflake is in for a long 4 years...
She should hold a public burning of their trash. Replace with dogs playing poker and velvet Elvis, and art by her kids.
She should call all the Decorator Mags and have them come take pictures.
I would encourage her to auction it off and give the proceeds to some right-leaning organization, except that would just give this jerk more publicity.
She should deface all the art and then display it in a gallery.
What ugly people! They are trying to make money by bashing the daughter of our future president. Shameful.
Odd how all these liberals who accuse everyone of discriminating against women have no problem verbally assaulting and threatening Ivanka.
Where are all the feminists to defend her?
crickets.....
She needs to hire someone to set up a table and sell that crap at a flea market in the nasty part of town.
“one is even demanding that she remove their art, which she purchased, from the walls of her home.”
Okay, sell it back to them..........at twice the price. Put up or shut up. Otherwise, the “artists” have nothing to say.
red
“Put it in the Oval Office.
Take pictures of it with Trump at the desk.
Make the pictures public.”
Then tell the story of how they wanted Ivanka to take it off the wall in her house.
