Artist David Shrigley is putting an old idiom to the test by trying to get £1m for some old rope.
Turner prize-nominated Shrigley spent months scouring the length and breadth of the British Isles for unwanted lengths of rope destined for landfill, creating the new artwork, which features 10 tonnes of rope and a £1m price tag.
He says he learnt a lot about old rope in the process and that making people laugh is "a good starting point" for people connecting with his work.
