Hedge-Fund Collectors Browse Colorful Currencies at art exhibition in Switzerland

Switzerland's asset managers and private bankers haven't drawn much mirth from investing this year, making the timing of the "Art of Money" show in Lugano ironic. The exhibition by New York-based artist Jenna Lash features a dozen brightly colored images based on currencies, some so familiar they're taken for granted, and others extinct. Works on display feature pensive soldiers from the Lithuanian litas, a haunting Mahatma Gandhi from an Indian rupee, and a red, white and blue George Washington imitating the U.S. dollar.
