KLF Sell Up!

Legendary rave pioneers and art mavericks the KLF are selling their old samplers and the armoured car cum sound system which they used to terrorise the Turner Prize in the early 90s.

For those who don't recall, the KLF - or K Foundation, as they were by that point - decided to offer double the Turner Prize amount for what the public voted the country's worst piece of art. In the end it was won by Rachel Whiteread's 'House', a work which filled a terraced house in Bow with concrete, then removed the bricks to simply leave the space the house once had inside. Here are a selection of their TV ads for the project.
