I recall doing a similar response to a painting class assignment back in architecture school. He wasn't really teaching us to paint, but to be conceptual, so I was. He said it wasn't new then (thirty years ago), and it wasn't, so it's been done before. Either way, the tax write-offs occur and the money gets laundered.
As I understand the story, the contract (whether written, oral, or implied I don't know) was for the physical money from the patron to be returned as part of the media of the art. Like paper decoupage'd to the canvas.
