How did you make this work:
I chose to construct this portrait of powerful tycoon Larry Goodman (King of Beef) out of cuts of beef. Goodman evaded taxes via the Netherlands. I feel this very simple idea works well: it is a bit shocking and a bit gross: it draws attention. The other illustration was placed down the in the article.It depicts the financial district in Amsterdam: ‘de Zuidas’.
