Other people's paintings only much cheaper: No. 13.2 Johns.

Newspaper art by Juan Sly.

Close up.

Jasper Johns is well known for his depictions of the American flag. Johns' works regularly achieve millions of dollars at sale and auction, including a reported $110 million sale in 2010. At multiple times works by Johns have held the title of most paid for a work by a living artist. He used a fast-drying medium that enabled him to apply individual strokes with great textural variation, while allowing some of the underlying areas of newspaper collage to show through, dimly, enticing the viewer to look closely.
Here Sly has re-done it with spray on the Daily Telegraph; and being British, now, he has done it as the Union Flag. Of course Britain being much smaller than the US, it is placed on sale at a much lower price.

 These paintings are “painted” solely by gluing on pieces from The Daily Telegraph and The Financial Times, no paint is used at all, and the effect is extraordinary. They are stuck onto canvas and the edges are wrapped around with newspaper so no frame is required. They take up to 3 weeks to do from scratch although it can be quicker if one is currently in progress. If you buy direct from here they cost £150.
