In the past, he's covered Milan's Fondazione Nicola Trussardi with an exterior made entirely of jute sacks, a common vessel Mahama employs within his practice to comment on commerce and the transportation of global goods. His latest canvas? The brutalist concrete facade of London's Barbican Centre.

eBay has been a go-to after market for vintage clothing, objects, gadgets, ephemera — really anything — for nearly 30 years now. And while it is a suitable platform to collect art, eager collectors should (unsurprisingly) tread lightly when looking to purchase works by celebrated masters — even if there has been legitimate reports of authentic works being sold on eBay, such as Greco-Roman antiquities that were recently pawned off (illegitimately) by former British Museum curator Peter Higgs. According to a new investigative report by the Guardian, there are a number of fake paintings being marketed across eBay as genuine works by the likes of French artists Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, amongst others.
