recession proof

Some going-out-of-business shopping at the local Mervyn's netted these three frames, whch self-assembled into something of an art piece once I got them home:

triptych: "recession proof": 3 panels with aluminum frame, each 4ft x 4ft. Frame 1 depicts retail graphic art from Mervyn's, the defunct department store. Frame 2 depicts a blank graphic panel. Frame 3 is void of content.

price: $1500

Shown as installed at the artist's residence.
