Spotlight

The people’s art
What can a quarter buy these days?

One-eleventh of a gallon of gas. Fifteen minutes on a parking meter. And, if you’re lucky, a few extra pickle slices on a hamburger.

Thanks to Matt LeClair, 25 cents — or 50 cents, in some cases — will also buy an original piece of art. But you won’t find the masterpieces hanging in a museum or perched on a pedestal at some hip, downtown gallery.

LeClair sells the works in gumball machines.
