The exhibition features several hundred examples of well-known fine art paintings, altered, taken out of context, and re-used in cartoon strips, appropriated for other art pieces, etc. The show is organized by artist, with a copy of an original painting accompanied by other works which parody that original.

Included are references to Van Gogh, Grant Wood, Picasso, Hopper, Monet, Seurat, Whistler, and more. A major part of the exhibition uses the familiar image of Mona Lisa. Along with many commercial interpretations, the exhibit also displays an original large acrylic painting by noted Chicago artist Tom Palazzolo. It is titled “Mona From Mars and my Missing Sox.”
