KLF springs to mind...

http://www.klf.de/articles/?article=99:

" In late 1993, a series of advertisements began to appear in the quality
press concerning the Turner Prize art awards. While that body was
responsible for granting 2,000 to a piece of non-mainstream art, the K
Foundation (a new vehicle for messrs Drummond and Cauty) promised double
that for the worst piece of art displayed. The Turner shortlist was
identical to that of the KLF's. More bizarre still, exactly 1,000,000 was
withdrawn from the National Westminster bank (the biggest cash withdrawal in
the institution's history), nailed to a board, and paraded in front of a
select gathering of press and art lum inaries. The money was eventually
returned to their bank accounts (although members of the press pocketed a
substantial portion), while the 2,000 was awarded to one Rachel Whiteread,
who also won the "proper" prize. The K Foundation later cemented its
notoriety by burning the aforementioned one million pounds, an event
captured on home video. "
